The pawn

Sorrow,

ripping me apart.

No longer can I take this pain,

too much for me to endure.

Life of tragedy,

hope a barren thought.

Only surviving,

the hollowness taking over.

One foot then the next,

to move forward is to forget the past.

I am at a standstill,

clinging to the old.

The future a terrifying reality,

what is to come...

The answer eludes me as the pain swoops in,

they had all forsaken me.

Loneliness has never felt so real,

only cold sterile walls look at me.

Laughing at the pawn,

who stepped out of line...
