dream
i watched the snow turn to ash
and i stood as it encased me
alone and unknowing of the purpose to this discord
i stood and stared at the gray blanket sky
that sat ominously overhead
the drifting ash surrounding me
while locked in my position
a sudden urge came upon me
one to fly
one to flee
one to say fuck it
and abandon this cause i never asked to be a part of
then the sky whispered to me in a calming tone
no words just emotions
the reassurance that this was no longer
and choice of my own
and i would see the end of it
the end to which i have no knowledge
war peace human existance?
the ashes fell softly on the ground
not melting away
collecting quietly on the ground
----------------------------------------------
awake
the screams began in my head
then consumed the streets
i sat alone and quiet seemingly unaffected
by the swirling storm of misery
the sky calling to me and saying its begun
i watched as the plan unfolded
and the noise grew louder
millions of voices rolling into one
massive requiem of pain
a single tear rolled down my cheek
not for the population outside my door
but rather for the vacancy i felt
soon the discord fell to a whisper
i looked out the window and saw no one
an empty city under a dead gray haze
----------------------------------------------
nightmare
i stepped onto the empty street
glanced around for any sign of life
nothing
no sound
no wind
emptiness all around me
the sky whispered peacefully, are you happy now?
i thought back, happy? how can i be happy when i'm alone?
you were hurt by so many, calmed the sky,
you no longer wanted to suffer pain at their hands
another tear formed in my eye and i tried to choke it back
as i replied, i didnt mean like this
the sky stopped speaking to me
as i stood in my desolate hell
my numbness turned to regret
then longing
then complete and utter lonliness
i was forever lost in a world
i never quite asked for.
