...and then there was darkness
…And then, there was darkness
 
 We all knew it was coming, 
 And space just sort of collapsed
 
 On itself, until nothing became 
 Anything and everything. A dominion of 
 Darkness, all encompassing, ubiquitous 
 
 Black, a stain in purgatory, a weightless vacuum 
 Shrouded by overlapping voids paneled 
 With black moons, or maybe
 Just stars that couldn’t resist the urge to die. 
 
 And then, it was just so 
 
 Heavy and tiny, 
 And it fell, a hollow black 
 Marble slowly, bluntly falling. 
 An abyss thrown melodramatically 
 Into The Abyss, the 
 
 Greater darkness, the inevitable black, charred and cold. 
 
 And they made us watch
 
 And I couldn’t get over the silence
 
 An unrelenting quiet, serene and hysterical, 
 Murmuring sweet nothings, 
 Lies and regrets, twisted faces 
 
 Gasping for sound, warped and in vain. 
 And you would sell your soul again
 If they wouldn’t make you listen.
 
 But, it didn’t last long, I hope
 
 Bearing the burden 
 Of time, numbered and waning
 We must’ve devoured eons, incorrigible,
 Monotonous.  The entirety of Black condemned 
 To a single hole, starved of matter and damned
 And it’s not true, what they say about The Abyss 
 
 You can’t see the end because 
 
 You never saw the beginning 
 And then, bang.
