there's a chasm wide

THERE"S A CHASM WIDE

there's a chasm wide where shadows loom
where halfmade terrors agonize
and dark regrets smoulder
but i've a bridge that transcends hate
that carries me above the pit
and leads me to the other side

because of You, my path is strewn
with fragrant petals, songs of hope
the pressure lifted from my chest,
and new beginnings to my days
only love can heal these wounds,
can pierce the darkness with its rays

rung by rung - you draw me close
you lead me to a place of joy
where every jagged piece makes sense
and i'm connected to the vine
and miles behind, the chasm wide
and miles behind, the chasm wide.
