Too Close To The Edge

I am standing much too close to the edge, the abyss knows my name and is calling to me like a lover making a pledge; darkness I promise is soft and enthralling. My heart is pounding out thoughts in my head, my lover approaches, he is nearly here, why am I suddenly filled with such dread; let go of it all there's no reason to fear. Take one more step and the night will enclose all the pain you now feel, send it to hell, its embers ignite to give us a glow; we shall spend eternity wrapped in its spell. The abyss will welcome us in its dark maw and in the old world we'll not leave a mark.
