The demise of such a high climb

by Ginnie   Nov 2, 2011


I have so much to say,
yet don't want to express
my heart is devastated
a hollow canyon upon my chest
whats for the better
has left me cold
freezing to the touch
Warmth I don't even seek
Looking for those eyes in a crowd
knowing that look Ill never see again
this is where I'm at
not where Ive been.
so uncommon for me to feel this way
still falling even though I'm splattered on the concrete
why do I continue chasing pavement
digging myself a deeper grave
but I should've known how this would end
the rise was much too high
to not predict this devastating demise
yet in this death
I still wager whats left
for an ending that won't come true.
because I know more than most
reality is this
a dream it was
and I just want to go back to sleep.
should I have ran when I had the chance?
realizations arrive a little too late.
