Poetry - The Abyss


Touch me.
You make me tremble, shatter, and feel whole inside.

It holds me back from the abyss.

Once there
love,
hate,
happiness,
despair
will be no more.

All feeling gone.

Walking though the darkness,
seeking the light.

The abyss hides,
consumes it so well
that you could search for an eternity,
never finding it.

Even those with the souls of the immortals
could never find what you seek.

The abyss.
It makes me tremble, shatter, and feel empty inside.

I fear it as much as I fear myself.
The fear I have for myself
haunts and consumes me.

Why do I fear myself?

I fear the ability to shut down,
to shut off.

Stop caring
Stop feeling
Stop wanting

Sometimes it’s the only way
to survive.

Is it really surviving if
you are empty inside?

You and the abyss do the same thing to me.

You fill me while it empties me.

I need you to counteract
its ravaging of me,
my soul.

Family - Blood Ties

My YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBb0hYhwX7CFpm8B706Pt6Q ), Twitter account ( @SinisterTandM ), and website ( blog.sinisterthoughtsandmusings.com ). Hello family 💕(and I do mean family, I consider you all to be part of my extended family) Family is important but unfortunately you don't always get the family you need and deserve by blood. Sometimes you have to go out and find them. I want to talk about my family that I got though blood and my chosen family that I got though luck.  I come from a large family but only have a small circle of them in my life, the rest have no idea who I am. I love talking to the ones that I have because they are the keepers of my past. We have a shared bond and memories. They remember and talk about all the crazy stuff that I did as a kid and I love hearing that stuff.  I am my mother's youngest child and my grandmother's youngest grandchild. I am and always will be the baby. A little spoiled and a little (a lot) st...

Poetry - Trust

Trust in me and you will see That you are it for me Take my hand and walk with me I promise that you will be safe with me The damage inside is so plain to see By somebody that has been hurt like me The scars will fade, Just give it time I know they will, It happened with mine I never lie and never cheat Or ever walk away in defeat If you can’t take my hand I will understand Just know and see, That I am here, Waiting patiently You will see how it can be Once you trust in me

Poetry - The Path

The mist is slowly creeping towards me as I sit by the edge of the deep encumbering lake. The light of the full moon, slowly covering me, barely starts to break though the dark menacing clouds to make its presence known. The only sound I hear is the chilling whisper of the bitter wind as it flows over the lake, though me, and on into the trees that are looming just behind me. I need to brace myself for the journey though the foreboding trees that stand between me and that what I desire most. I know that a crossroad awaits me once I reach the middle of those trees. It contains two immensely different paths leading into opposite directions. It is here, in this forbidden place, where I sit with the pain of indecision overwhelming me as I try to make the choice of which path to take. The necessity to choose is undermining everything else in my heart and my head. It feels like I am sinking into a gaping sea of desperation. Not wanting but needing to finally choose which path to take. ...
