Chasm

I see inside, look to my soul
And know that I am still unwhole
I see inside, perceive my mind
And, lost, I know I'll never find

The truth that lies, a crystal tear
Inside the sea of all my fear
A perfect prism, known in night
Nor clear nor colored to the sight

I view into my soul
As words would fill a hole
I know my heart. My mind
Is what I'll never find
