A Black Abyss
October 16, 2011
Rift between railing and wall
Caused nightmares, making me bawl
The chasm to he**, I always thought
What if I fell? I better not
Toys were lost, never to be found
My childhood is what it cost, flinching at every sound
Even though we moved away
The nightmares were here to stay
Forever haunted the black abyss
Even after Mother’s Goodnight kiss
Years went past, filled with hope
Never aghast, no reason to mope
Now I’m grown, more mature
Never alone, rest assured

Hey karina, cool poem. I also had fear of the gap in the staircase.

Exactly :)
In case the gist of the story was not received...The point was that I used to be afraid of a gap in between a railing and the wall at my old house. I used to loose toys down there. It was very frightening to me. After I moved away from that house I used to still have nightmares about it.
