Image for the poem the abyss

the abyss

I hang by a thread
above this abyss
climbing would be
of no avail
yes, I've been here before
many times and yet
I think this time
all will be different
 
this time when I fall
(and I always fall)
it won't feel like hell
no, it won't be a battle
not even a struggle
for I have never given up
on love though
I've been wounded by it
always deeply but
with no regrets
 
for I have much love
to give, much more  
I think as I dangle above
this abyss
who asks only of love
that it be trust worthy
my heart is filled with
the purest of love
and only you  
can make it smile
