Given In

Dark Poem about death.

Given In

The pit of blackness;
void of time and space.
You scream and claw, only to sink deeper in,
         finding more despair.
It closes around you,
      grabbing tightly not to let go.

There is no escape.
No hope is felt.

You succumb to its depth,
      given in--pummeling deeper.

It's finally finished.

The pain subsides.
The weight is lifted.
No breath to take.
No beat of heart.

The blackness covers you,
        your soul is lost forever.
