A Fragile Damnation

I walk the edge where echoes weep
A threadbare bridge o’er chasms deep
The stars above are cracked and cold
Their dying light too weak to hold

Each step I take, the earth resigns
Ashes crumbling into signs
A fate unwoven, frayed and thin
Yet longing pulls me back within

I whisper prayers to hollow stone
To gods long deaf, to sins my own
But mercy flickers, frail and weak
A phantom’s breath I dare not seek

Chains grow tight, the gate swings wide
No voice to barter, none to guide
Beyond, the void calls soft and low
Perdition waits—I turn and go
