Empire of Fallen Stars

I hold my breathe, 
and pray for death.

To escape this prison I've descended into.

I slowly suffocate,
  in the darkest place.
I've fallen from grace,
  without a trace.

My wings are torn.
My skin is worn.

Never will I escape this hellish space,
  or my cursed fate.

My dreams have died,
and here is where I lie.
