Abyss.
My heart wondered its depth. How long will I be stranded here in this deep dark well of nothingness. This land where I’m lost is a loop, there are days when I’m perfectly alright and I can almost see rays of sunlight. I climb my way up, higher and higher, I’m almost there, I reach out to hold the last rung through which I can pull myself up, I search for it and find nothing, I start to panic and forget my purpose and that’s when I tumble back down. I have to start over now. When will I get my release from this infinite blackout? Even now, this darkness reminded me of his eyes. It reminded me of the times when I could get lost in its depth. I could read each and every emotion, though he tried to hide his true feelings, his emotions seeped out of them.
I relished getting lost that time, in those deep dark pools unlike now when I struggle to find my freedom.
I could muse forever about this realm of gloom.
-Flash-
Something crossed my path when I wasn’t looking. What was it?
My heart beat quickened. What was that? I searched through the tunnels and loopholes helplessly, desperate to find it.
And then I saw it.
A wandering soul. He was lost in this abyss just like me.
I lifted my hand and reached my fingers towards him and he mimicked my movement. His fingertips grazed mine and it was icy cold.
My breath caught.
This was a different kind of feeling. A ray of hope shaped out of frost instead of warmth. It engulfed me in its icy mist and for the first time I smiled, enamored by snowflakes.
