Into The Abyss

"It was just another random systems test,
'Get your suit on and your ass out on that deck!'
When I came out the ship, through the air-lock doors,
Didn't know I wouldn't see anyone anymore.
I got out on the Deck and something must have went wrong,
Alarms and flashing lights came on, then it was gone.
I woke up floating through this void all by myself,
And now it occurs to me that no one will come to help.
If only I could have known what I know now,
I wouldn't be looking out at the world
wishing I could get back Home somehow.
I would have stayed on board and died there with the crew,
alas, I'm in this nothingness, what can I do?
I find myself in this Abyss, staring deep inside,
I feel it staring back at me, comforting my mind.
As I find release I find that it's so peaceful here,
There's no Hate, there's no Pain and, certainly, no Tears.
Just Planets floating like big balls upon calm Ocean tide,
Just beauty in this nothingness to help me pass the Time.
The Stars look so amazing here, like giant fireflies,
Wandering so aimlessly inside this endless night.
I'm glad that i could be right here as Time just fades,
Oxygen is getting low but its not like I can evade.
So into this Abyss I go, with no control,
Letting it consume my Mind, my Heart, my Soul.
I thought it would be nothingness, but I was wrong,
Surely this is Heaven and my Soul is moving on.
It wants me here, i hear it calling me, The Great Abyss,
It tells me if I let it it will take my Loneliness.
I think that I know what it wants me to do,
And I guess this is my last goodbye to you.
I'll take off my helmet and welcome Her embrace,
And I will be forever free inside this Beautiful place.
Don't know if anyone will find this recording.
It doesn't matter anymore.
The Abyss will have already rescued me......"
