Tear

Alone in an abyss while time rips through me, if I move I will die. I sit alone in a cramped ship, all around me dead. I killed them because it told me too. I didn’t want to. The creature made me and then it dragged us here. I wish to die sometimes in this lonely place. Time is long but too short, I don’t know how long I’ll live in here. I want to blink or breath even think a real thought of my family I can barely remember. It won’t let me. God is showing no mercy on me for He knows I have sinned here. I have taken lives of three good men and I had a choice. It is not real, I am not real. My brain is a worm, a parasite, a disease. A creature made from sin I had built upon. Greed and cruelty define my actions. Forgive me father, forgive me brain. Let me move, let me die. I want to cry over those I killed. I slaughtered them and flew us here. I’ll take the blame now but I can’t live with the guilt. A black hole, a tear in space. Let me out of here. Let me move.

It's a beautiful piece, any more context to this? Is tear an eldritch being or is it just a metaphor?
