Creative Writing Apollyon

Apollyon is called the angel of the bottomless pit...
-Encyclopedia Mythica

I see you love, writhing in pain,
and I kept here, held by my chain;
it makes me gnash my teeth in rage,
but how you truly feel, I've no way to gauge.

I'd fly if I could, my anger making me soar,
I don't want you to suffer anymore;
With flame of hell and brimstone blade,
I'd free you, love, in a daring raid.

But I just can't do that, I hate to say,
with this short chain, there's just no way;
guess I'm not a strong warrior after all,
but was I ever if I could fall?

Or was I just a foolish child, with too much hope?
please take my dreams, bind them with rope;
let me die here, bit by bit
alone, at peace, in my lonely pit.
