Bottomless

“Bottomless”

I’m locked away in the deepest, darkest of space,

In this prison they’ve created, self detested and hated,

To never again see daylight, to never be saved,

I am so exceedingly lonely even my heartbeat echoes,

I am entirely empty to my very core,

My heart has become numb, my mind a spiral,

I cannot take much more,

The endless defeat devours me daily,

The darkness comes whispering and clawing,

Wanting some other grotesque act from me,

I can feel them when they’re here,

Here for another worthless damned soul,

I will never laugh again; I will never grow old,

In this basement I have been for many years,

I am unsure how old I am, what excites me or what is a kite,

I chose a long time ago life is pointless,

Especially if this is what others consider “life”

I don’t think I can go on; I don’t think I’ll make it,

I’ve taken all I can for years; there is nothing left,

An empty soul, a shell of a human and endless defeat…
