I Wander

I wander

Down a road of death & destruction,
Where the smell of decomposition is overwhelming,
Where the reds come together to form black.

I wander

Looking for any signs of life,
the only ones I find are of the creatures that feed off the bones of the dead.

I wander

Listening for the smallest sound,
I hear nothing, not even a rat,
the silence is unbearable.

I wander

trying to find the end,
only to find there is no end,
the beginning where i started, seemed to have disappeared,
there is but one way out.

I come to a halt,

I look at the metallic gray object in my hand,
I aim it at myself & cock the gun,
with one last look around, I pull the trigger.

I feel that explosion of pain before everything goes numb,
now even in my death, I cannot rest in peace.

For still, I wander.
