The chasm is both vast and fearsome,
who can plumb its depths or span its width?
No light pierces its gloomy blackness,
its air is stale and still,
no life exists within.
Who would approach this dreadful void
when every sense repels and shouts out "stay away"?
And yet for me it holds mysterious magnetism,
its gravity pulls my every thought, my very soul,
and sucks them in.
Trapped within this living tomb,
devoid of hope, I float in darkness.
Until perhaps some guardian angel comes,
and with terrible but certain cure
plucks out my heart.
