Have you looked up "abyss" and "despair"? If so, what are you confused by? Also, it is very difficult for us to comment on a short phrase when we don't have the sentence you found it in, and the context. Please provide those.

An abyss is deep, so it means deep despair. Please quote the complete context in future as meaning is normally created within a context and it could have other meanings.
