Description
pain
impossible to breathe
disbelief
only one question: why?
thoughts at war:
remembering
verifying
comparing
contradicting
justifying.
an endless, meaningless battle
to the brink of self destruction
meagre clasps at hope
pleading: please, please!
tears
yet only a deafening silence
echoes in reply
then emptiness, nothingness
and finally realization
of broken promises
shards of yesterday
merely wiped away
not by the sand of the desert
nor the tides of the ocean
but by harsh decisions
unexpected
uncompromising
savagely selfish
a heart is crushed
a soul withered away
but the footprints of yesterday
will stay
