Out of the Abyss

I call out into the abyss
-	No reply to my query
Quietly, there is no bliss
-	Though I feel leery

My mind questions often
-	But to no avail
Imaginary blows do not soften
-	My mind doth but trail

To the dark hole
-	Going to nowhere
Lost in the dark
-	What do I dare?

To move, to leave
-	Seeking the light
Why should I grieve?
-	Give up the fight

There is no battle left
-	Combating my illusions
Bemusing the theft
-	And drawing my own conclusions
