I'm headed down that road again
the one with no turn-around.
The one that tempts
and beckons
like offerings of water
to a desert-parched soul.
Its safer at the end of there-
for no one dares follow
not even to lead you back
from the brink-
so cold-hearted and barren
of emotions they are already.
No...simply emotionless,
they watch you walk
farther and farther away
sucked down deeper
into the blackness-
and they don't even wave goodbye.
Good write
Thank you for sharing.
Growing up, with all the stuff happening I went to a place within where the world could not contact me when I had to shut down.
Now, this gray ashy barren world of mine I don't know what to do but reflect on all that has happen here and keep growing.
