Void of Despair

Endless formidable void
Lost among the stars
Drifting through the infinite

Intense is the feeling of dread
Days turn into months
Deepened hunger
Desperate

Each one to face starvation
Reduced to frailty
Unhinged hallucinations
Minds devolve as we waste away

The crew once showed reluctance
Devouring our fellow man
So morally abhorrent
This horrid dream will see no end

The fate of one is drawn
We feed ‘till all is gone

The last of us living in torment
Confined to this frigid hell
Deprived of what made us human
We cannibalize

Constant are harrowing screams
Echoes of their sanity
Endless
Ominous
Deafening

Murderous mental erosion
We fall to depravity
Claustrophobic nightmare

I’ve withered to nothingness
Left only to my distress

As I drift through the shadows of moons
Lost in time, I am soon forgotten
Left to perish within my astral prison
Never returning from this void of despair

Alone I face starvation
Reduced to frailty
Unhinged hallucinations
Mind devolved, I waste away

Lost to this fateful mission
Contorted reality
A daunting fatal illusion
Succumb to insanity

The fate of one was drawn
Once fed, now all is gone

Unseal the airlock door
Left to suffer no more
