The Abyss

Freidreich Neitzsche wrote, "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." Love is a bit like that, as this little poem observes.

Looking into your green eyes
Was like gazing into the abyss
There was a darkness, emptiness
Something too deep to reach for

Something you were afraid of.
And so you closed your eyes
Rather than see their hunger
Mirrored in my pupils
Philo and Sophia
