It is a bottomless pit

timemortality

It is a bottomless pit

Darkling dank

A thankless hole

Not worth the trouble

It took to dig

Too deep to climb out of

Fall into

What a tumble

That would be

Teetering on the edge

Of eternity

Oblivion is closer

To the final drop

Steeply sided

Obsidian is too hard

To crack

With no finger holds

There is no way back

No matter how hard you try

Tears you cry

The space between

Is growing wider

There is nothing

Left to use

To fill it in

It took all you were

To stop it from

Getting any bigger

Than the space

You had to give

In the first place

There is no disgrace

And no end

To this necrosis

It is not a neurosis

Eating its way out

From the inside

Unless it is sated

Its appetite fulfilled

Soon this damnable hole

Will take all

That is left of you

To be.
