Sophia

She is the deepest abyss in my heart
and I'm falling forever into her depths.

Her icy warm fingers keep burning my skin
as I struggle and yearn to feel again.

The weight of her presence crushes my spine,
and I fear that I might fail to look into her eyes.

Once my faith was brilliant,
a blazing star illuminating life.

But now it's dashed and torn,
the last embers smoldering afar.

I used to soar through the heavens
singing of celestial journeys.

But when Sophia ignited in my heart,
my imaginary wings melted,
and I crashed to the earth,
my blood flowing into cosmic blood.

All of her is painful now!
Yet I feel that in the end
she will save the world like a child in distress,

Her shadowy eyes keep penetrating
the crumbling layers of our minds.

And although I once abhorred her,
I'm growing to love her...
