Dark, void universe, how can I call thee home?
These chains are felt even in freedom, amongst the emptiness I roam.
How is it that I came to be so lifeless beyond recognition?
Not a sound from within me could be heard by those who stop to listen.
This heart stopped beating long ago, the soul disappeared,
and these days I wonder at how it ended just as I feared-
I have ended up alone as I always knew I would be,
no constant companion to guide me, be my reality
in a world of chaos, ruled by the hunt and bloodlust over all.
Through the echoes of infinite damnation, I am destined to always fall-
but what is that I hear? Such crying would stop by heart if it beat;
repetitive, undying, a sound unearthly, so bittersweet.
A child, lost to humanity, without friend or family,
a lamentation of the heart, crying out in agony to me.
I listen and approach with silent savior's wings,
and offer her a life less ordinary, amongst the darker things.
