Twist In The Road

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 fucking 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.
