Void

When you stare into the depth, do you seek to feel the gaze
Of the timeless void, piercing through your veil
To the core of your battered soul?
From the pit, echoing through your skull, darkness calls upon you
In the deepest shadows of your mind you know you are
Its part

Crawling through the endless plains
Of time, its blackened mud sticking to your hands
Clawing your way through the walls of despair
Struggling to keep the beast at bay
When your heart hammers on the ribs
The fear gives way to something else

When you stare into the depth, do you seek to feel the gaze
Of the thing that's older than time
The source of darkness in your heart?

In the deepest
Shadows of your mind
You know you are
Its part

In the darkest
Corners of your soul
You know you are
The void
