Prayer to the Abyss

In this torment unending,

Alone with only my thoughts,

And deep seated longing,

To restore hope wrecked upon the rocks.

Left only to wonder,

What happened to spur it away;

Bereft of any slumber,

Broken heart that feels betrayed.

Desperate for an answer,

To questions gone unheard;

Growing within, a cancer,

Consumptive as black bird.

Screaming into void’s essence,

For any resolution;

Replacing constant silence,

Causing heart’s pollution.

I beg, I plead, I prostrate,

In this final moment,

The answer I await,

Will cease to be a figment.

Only in that way,

Inside this silent glen,

Will darkness finally sway,

So I may breathe again.
