Poem Artwork

Grey follows the road,

like a lingering curse...winding it's way into

my brain,

where knawing regret lies.

 

Faces distorted, dreary buildings melt

into carnivorous burial grounds.

Objects vanish into dust, as I trek

an unmerciful, relentless highway.

 

Knowing is a cursed thing,

and planning is an illusion.

For all have fallen into despair,

and all is nil.

 

What has fallen, cannot rise,

in this finite desolation.

Eternity closes it's eyes tightly,

for here...there are no survivors.

Those are the two words that come to mind: depressing and hopeless.

a beautiful description of quiet depression and hopelessness. i especially like your line 'knowing is a cursed thing and planning is an illusion'

this line will be easily recalled by many reading this who can relate to the sadness of this lovely write.
