To madness

on the edge of madness,
away from greedy fingers,
me, an insignificant particle
without a name,
swimming through the doubts
of my existence

even the deadliest sarcasm
wouldn't me

from the eyeless abyss, wide as the night
my hollow eternity splintered
in the heat of the animal,
rise and break, uneducated force

if I reach, you vanish
if I give up, you come

showing the steps of the stars,
wandering through the deep sea of being,
and the ideal, bleeds and bleeds,
like a dying summerday

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

I am enjoying your letters, these lines stuck out to me
"from the eyeless abyss, wide as the night
my hollow eternity splintered
in the heat of the animal,
rise and break, uneducated force"
Great piece of writing here, thank you

-with what love could be...
