The very bottom of the bottomless pit

It's dark in here.
I can't find my way out.
I grope around in the darkness, I try to find
the secret passageway, but I cannot see one.

My hope is gone.
I watched it;
the delicate little flame
fading, finally snuffing itself out
when it ran out of fuel to keep it burning.
Little Flame, I wish you were here again to light my way;
help me find the way out.

You are gone.
I am here
alone,
in the dark.
