The Abyss

I look into the path without light,
after giving up th last of my sight.
I can barely see the hand in need,
as I offer him my only noble steed.

Bleeding out, he tells me he's dying,
I barely understand the words he's crying.
Giving him the last of my food and water,
he's on a quest to save his only daughter.

I sympathize and then I move on,
this is not where I belong.
I give the man half of my supplies,
I almost hope that he just dies.

A life in here has no happy ending,
he doesn't know he is just pretending.
His daughter is lost, gone forever,
but I encourage him on this endeavor.

The last time he saw her is the last,
I hope he has memories from her past.
His hopes are pointless, a fools dream,
he can try until he is out of steam.

His daughter is food for the next world,
I hate to see that he lost his little girl.
This sad ending, she will surely be missed,
as her sould wanders into the abyss.

-Saul
