This unfathomable chasm,
obscures all rationality.
I slip into madness
the murkinessย ย revealing certain oblivion.
All I can fathom is darkness,
for all I know is the obscurity of this void.
As aware as I am of my mortality,
I do not want to die here.
Please, save me as I fall into the abyss.
Inspired by a line from Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum"
"An outstretched arm caught my own as I fell fainting into the abyss."
