I destroyed a world...   In one night One that I helped build. I invaded the surface and dug, Hoping to find something precious, To satisfy my greed & lust. Without thinking.. Now it's cracked and scarred.. I destroyed a world that meant everything to me.. For nothing but an urge I thought I had. I wronged an oasis that kept me from Dying of dehydration, In the droughts of my life... If I believed in heaven & hell, I would say my soul is being dragged downwards, And that's why I feel so low.. But I know better. Reality is far worse. I watch from orbit as the world is mended, Admiring it's strength and beauty... I know. I can never return there. So I drift through emptiness Content,  finds me in the knowledge that the world will thrive... Without me.
