The Abyss
When everything is lostyou will resort to anything
and even to acknowledging your ultimate defeat
as a justification for your throwing in the towel
to the deadliest of mortal sins of giving up.
But what else can you do?
When your beloved has proved only your destruction
in the abyss of a permanent betrayal
horribly consistent in its meanness of outrageous viciousness
and leaving you with nothing left
but staring into the black hole of your despair
in utter hollowness of your existence
as the most pathetic of all fools
deceived by most of all yourself.
You cannot even cry, because your tears are dry,
while the worst of all is how you are condemned
to stay on and go on in spite of all
surviving your destruction and annihilation
in a sentence worse than death,
to be condemned to stay alive.
Poetry by Christian Lanciai
