Remember Me, Lost In This Black Abyss
Remember Me, Lost In This Black Abyss
When I could not touch thy heart I cried
sharp daggers pierced, sad and dying soul.
If only, in that moment had I died
and not fell into this cavernous hole!
Sweet Helen, know that moment we both lost
dark thunder had sounded by the lost bay.
To change that, I would pay any high cost
yet thy pure heart my love could never sway!
Remember me! Lost in this black abyss
spears pierce my wounded heart and tear filled eyes.
Thy image my sad heart now does so miss
I long to again see deep blue skies!
In desperate depths, this lost soul low moans.
Pray, thy heart feels its deep yearning tones!
R.J. Lindley,
