In vain

It came, a message, with not so many words. I was supposed to fill blank spaces in between.

I was supposed to look pass the lack of effort, and figure out what it means.

But does the sender even know?

Or do the scarce, vaguely related words
show

that I’m walking right into
a bottomles pit

an endless abyss
that can never be filled?

At first,
quick replies seem cute,
but what looks like a fountain of youth
masks a fountain of pain

And all I say,
I say in vain
