I feel it seeping into my essence

A malevolent force that threatens to consume

My faculties falter, my thoughts succumb

Trapped in a prison, no escape to come

I perceive the glow, it's dimming rapidly

Harm is irreparable, my frame is shattered

Decay of sickness deep within my marrow

Fear a future stark and narrow

Forgotten skies weigh me down

Silent sighs drown my soul

Shadows entomb my past

Trapped in my own hollow
