Boundaries

Beyond the boundaries

That are predetermined.

Lies the remains in solitude.

Left by the wayside of life.

 

Platitudes once were wasted

On the man who lost his way.

New directions became old

And by the wayside he lay.

 

The sentence that was given

Remains all that is left of him.

No emotion can bring back  a life

Devoid of any sensibilities.
