Come down

I've settled deep within the void, An emptiness I cannot afford, It's a journey of infinite tears, My old age betraying my younger years. Meds, they linger in my throat, Hoping, on them I choke, I wash it down with galvanized steel, Nope, no thought to repeal. I am a malignant star, Nestled deep within a canyon scar, Blurting out "all hope is lost!" Covering my eyes, so as not to see the cost. Brokenness, it did me in, A lifetime of hell, for a lifetime of sin, If you love me, don't even bother, Just let me settle in to the void, for just Pennies on the dollar.
