Last Link in the Chain of Death

By Aixerona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've been up all night thinkingabout the old chain.Trust me when I sayMy heart is sinkingand crying is vain.Down a dead endChased by a memoryDead like you.Dead like I'm supposed to be.With a heart broken in two.Like a chain of dominoes.First one falls...Like a withered rose.Second stallsBut eventually collapsed.See a chain of trees.an open fire, The news ever so dire:Flames, like a contagious disease,Burned them all down.But I'm the only one left standing.The last rose, slowly withering.I've been up all night thinking,Restless and contemplating.Wondering what's left for me.Wondering what's left of me.want to cry. x_x...
