There's an edge I find myself at,
toes breaking off pebbles
that fall into thick fog.
Fog that consumes
and rarely regurgitates.
I've stared into this abyss
many times before,
found a home inside of darkness,
let it rest on the walls
of my vital organs
and sweetly corrode my hopes and dreams.
At this edge once more,
swaying for the knowledge I now have,
threatening to push me over,
I see a monster rising.
