The endless grief, born in the deepest shadows,
Where sorrow grew, and demons crept.
A silence dazed the eerie aura,
A weight too much for hearts to bear.
The rain fell cold, the sky was bleak,
The soul became frail and the mind weak.
A distant toll of bells transformed into a choir of cries,
A dirge for those who dared to wander too far away.
The endless road of mourning winds,
Through shattered hopes and twisted desires.
No company was found, nor voices to be heard,
Just endless grief that claimed every living creature.
The endless grief, a cursed refrain,
A perpetual march through infinite pain.
The night devoured the light of day,
And dragged the hearts to slow decay.
A castle cold, where shadows reigned,
Sighs echoed in darkened walls.
A labyrinth with thorns and tendrils of dread,
Each path was a step closer to the death.
The stars looked down with a hollow stare,
Like frozen orbs that did not care.
Their pale light painted the soil in frost,
As every entity was bound and lost.
The endless grief betrayed like a lover’s kiss,
A poisoned embrace that none could ever be missed.
It held hearts, it gripped souls,
It swallowed whole all that was taken under control.
In twisted woods where no life could have prospered,
The path led where the cold wind blew.
The trees, they moaned, their branches writhed,
Beneath the sky where stars didn’t thrive.
The river flew with quiet dread,
A blackened stream for the living dead.
Its waters whispered as they ran,
A mournful hymn for what had begun.
The endless grief, a heavy shroud,
A curse that lingered like a minacious cloud.
No dawn would have broken, no sun would have risen,
No delight could have been born beneath these unlimited skies.
The realm itself became a monument of stone,
A place where nothing could make sense.
The ground would have swallowed every shadow,
And still, the grief remained the same.
The endless grief never ended and never will,
Through disfigured dreams, it wends and bends.
It buries deep, it scars souls,
A fate that no one can control at all.
