The Abyss Peers Back

Posted on July 3, 2021 by B Gourley

the image blurs
my mind blurs

attempts to focus
bring a headache

so i relax,
seeking no clarity,
finding no answers

adrift in emptiness
attached to nothing;
the abyss peers back

what does it see?

This is so poignant. I love how it entwines gothic imagery, and the ending flips the main perspective making it so introspective. Beautifully written.
