Black Shining Void

Along a path I’ve walked many times, I stumbled From the ground, a few yards past, I saw the entrance Black, the void twinkling within as if this dark abyss were the night sky Blood, around the stones. I ran… gathered my blades, lit a torch I returned, and entered the void What hath the ghouls done in this place? In the water I don’t recognize my face I made a mistake I thought it wouldn’t break The bridge of the cave collapsed And I have no way back Panic attacks Oh what I would do to go back Murky slime in cavernous halls Like sin reflecting in dim lighting Faces smeared against the wall And the corpses lay empty and rotting
