Impenetrable Darkness

What is the meaning of life
Our purpose here
While idly I roam about the earth
Seeking, searching
Answers escape me
As soon as I can almost taste it
It slips away again
Defeat swallows me whole
Consuming me in impenetrable darkness
Is this all there is
How forever lost
Taking any sense of purpose with it
Days, hours, seconds pass
Hearing each tick of the clock
I waste away
