If the eyes are the mirror to the soul...

If the eyes are the mirror

to the soul

then my soul

must be very dark

Inner demons

torturing me

into oblivion

one day

my tears will wash

them all away

the skeleton in my closet

is staring me in the face

its empty sockets

sapping my soul

its hands

slowly rapping around my throat

yet I don't fight

for what would be worse

then losing that

which is killing me

like sailing on a sea

I'm the captain

with the fire in his eyes

ready to follow the Dutchman

into the abyss

for why should I fear death

when three nails

broke the greatest curse

known to man

so I will go

into the abyss

and descend into hell itself

to fight this thing

I may bleed

but I will slay the Dutchman

and put an end to his rain

cause that skeleton died

long ago

and its about time

I realized it is powerless

Yet I will forever have

scars from this

Author's Note

I'm not done with this just yet! I think it needs a better ending...I'm kinda feeling a song on this one not sure though...

I really like this. Its so important to go into our own abyss and heal our own wounds, even if is like inhabiting a horror story.
I like the passion you express and you decribe the process of looking at our own shadow very well.
Nice one.
