Wrath of Bent Shadows

In shadowed depths where stars did wane
I sought the truths that none dare name
With tome and sigil, darkly scrawled
I pierced the veil, the void’s cold thrall

The heavens spun in twisted rhyme
and space did stretch, untouch’d by time
I gazed into that maw so vast
where light did bend and breath could pass

A gate, I thought, to realms divine
where God and daemon intertwine
But what I found, in endless dark
was neither flame nor holy spark

The void it pulled, it drank me whole
an unseen hand that stole my soul
Each bone unstrung, each sinew torn
my limbs as threads were slowly worn

I stretched, I broke, yet felt no pain
my flesh undone, but not in vain
For as I sank, unbound, untied
I glimpsed the truth that gods would hide

A place where all did twist and fray
where night consumed the break of day
No form, no light, no life remained
just shadow’s weight, and stars enchained

My body strung through endless night
pulled thin as breath, beyond all sight
No end, no edge, no time to die
but still I fell, where none could fly

I am the thread, the thought unspun
a whisper lost, a deed undone
In that great maw, I fade away
a soul devoured by endless sway
