Darker the Light

​Deep
Deep
Deepest of darkness
where I lay my head
down
to fall asleep and slip
deeper
deeper
into the vortex
of lost souls
I search the void
for a chance to
survive in this
pitiful maelstrom
of existence
I see nothing in this sanctuary
of stolen dreams
Survival depends solely on
believing
but I don’t believe in
anything but a hole
that pulls me deeper
deeper
into its bowels of
destruction
Forever burdened
by a derelict fervor
I ease into believing
that nothing
is all I will
ever need
