I sat staring out the window, staring into the darkness,
Searching for some understanding, - some peace of mind.
Oh, how I long for the comfort I once felt, the feeling of belonging,
And the tranquility in Life, that I now cannot find.
I feel empty inside,
Like a part of me is now missing, or maybe has even died.
And with this Anguish burning from deep within my Soul,
It’s these bitter, angry tears, that I cry.
The sudden realization that there is nothing that I can do, ever,
Pounds in my head, chanting the song of a loser, an involent.
The ties that once held me to my Hope are now tangled around my throat
And their choking me with nothing but, this pure resentment.
Oh, if only I would have known,
Such torment I could have saved this poor old heart from,
If only I would have listened to what all the others had said,
Long before all this mass destruction, was done.
But, I am a fool of all fools,
And I deserve only what I get.
And staring out across what is now just The Ruins,
I know this I shall never forget.
I took a chance,
Then I watched it all come tumbling down,
Shattering into a million pieces of “What Might Have Been,”
Upon the ground.
