The dark abyss draws me in, and I walk towards it unknowing,
This numbness, exhaustion in my heart has recently started showing.
Right when I'm about to fall, I'm pulled back with a snap.
Something intriguing, I think to myself, so wake up from this nap.
The thing stares me blankly in the eye- a man, as plain as day.
In moments I let out a sigh. There's nothing I can say.
He pulled me back, but I still drown. His appearance makes it worse;
My hope has fled, my faith unfound, for he is not the first.
I choke on overflowing thoughts: of and about him.
His name is so loud in my mind- I can't hear above his din.
Still he adds to the collection of chains that drag me unaware,
Yet he'll never know, I'll never show, the pain I constantly bare.
