Daniel

The abyss

As I stand at the edge of the abyss


I wonder at the gifts the darkness brings


The angels dare not venture here


The flames to hot for hallowed wings


So as hope gives way to despair


There can be no room for such things here


So I welcome my demons as my friends


I do not cower from there their acid kiss


For they alone comfort me


As I stand here at the edge of the abyss
