This road is longer than I thought it
could ever be.
Endless is an understatement.
And who ever thought I would have to walk
the whole thing alone?
So many were lost in the war.
I remember
all
of
them.
I never thought I would wish for the
weight of the world.
I never knew that nothing could hurt
so bad.
How did I make it this far?
Why didn't any one else even try?
They didn't even ******* try.
I fought so hard.
I couldn't stop fighting.
Now it's just me.
So which way do I go now?
War's over, bodies counted,
and I'm looking for the end.
I can't see, so I don't believe.
How could I?
How could any one?
I will twist my heart till I disappear.
I will find the end if it kills me.
I will look death in the eye and ask
"What took you so long? I've been
here for days." as his hand trembles
its way to mine.

— The End —
