THE PIT

.

By CotardDelusionzPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

As I sit

I can feel my chest begin to rip

Reopening the endless pit

My heart tightness

Scared to fall

As it sits above

The pit

Absorbing all the darkness that it spits Pumping it through my veins straight into my brain

The coldness that it emits shivers my ribs

My stomach turns into knots making me want to vomit , but I only gag , I choke on the pain

Can't breathe

Something is coming

From

The pit

A rotting arm

Flesh falling off its bone

Fingers barely hanging on

Reaching for my heart

Out of fear my heart slows its beat

It stops for as long as it can before it beats again

Hoping to not be found

But it's inevitable

The arm already knows it's path

It knows where to reach

It's not long before it reaches my heart

It's rotten hand wraps it's fingers around my heart and clenches my heart tightly

I want to scream but I still can't breathe

I claw at my throat , then my chest but I can't reach what's happening within

I can feel it pulling my heart down

I try to resist

I try to fight

I panic

I go manic

I slam my body into the wall

But it's too strong

My heart is being taken

Pulled deeper into

The pit

Soon my heart is drowned in the darkness

Of

The pit

My chest feels empty

Filled with nothing but the immense pit

I have no energy

My face is so heavy

My eyes gravitate beyond the floor

Staring into the endless pit

Where there is no light

Leaving me blinded

By the abyss of

The pit
