When a thought collapsed



Deep into the abyss I stare,
A realm of its own I don’t know where.
Empty till the end of time,
Filled with no entropy nor shine.
Despair drowns in it,
Distortion awakens out of it.
An empty relic without a soul ,
Whispers slowly into the hole.
A fatuous comment indeed I told ,
Defying the dark soul.
Stricken with grief and solicitude ;
Unable to comprehend it’s magnitude,
I  jump into the ill- lit tube.
