The Void

I stare into the void today
My mind a blank as I was taught
Then create a flame to light my way
Through passages with danger fraught

In this darkness is my nemesis
A cunning foe and wiley brute
He calls his home the black abyss
I seek to end his evil root

As it seeks to end my life
My deeds forgot, my meaning lost
A life time have we lived this strife
My sanity I fear the cost

I try to kill the elusive beast
Who within the void is formed
But on it lives not hurt the least
Anon and again the evil borned

I know it is myself I hunt
The part of me that evil be
Twixt good and evil battle shunt
Renewed each day and never free
