The Abyss
All my life in whole
Is like a flight over a great black hole;
I try not to fall into this abyss,
But even the light cannot do this.
The closer the abyss is, the more I
Lose myself and die,
And I don’t know how long I can
Seek salvation again and again.
Hopes and aspirations are fading away;
I lost any faith and can’t see any way;
The abyss is drawing me more and more
To disappear in the deep and not exist anymore.
I tried to find meaning at least somewhere —
My dreams were broken everywhere,
And now my strength has failed me
To fight with the abyss that is drawing me.
I will fly to you, spreading my arms;
Maybe will I find peace in your arms?
The abyss yawned with a malicious grin —
No, I won’t give up; I won’t be in!
