The Last

[blackbanner]

I haven't been on in awhile..so hey everyone!



The Last
Once again we walk this earth
Silent save for our footsteps
Never been found, nor
Looked for.
The endless abyss in front
Of us stretches to the apex
Of the sky, endless as the nights.
We walk forever young,
Blood on our hands,
Tears in our eyes.
Still we walk this twisted world,
Surrounded by devastation.
The grey skies, grey faces.
The black ground, black eyes.
The red rivers, red blood.
Step after step
We still walk on.
The last of the last.
The survivors who survived
Them all, all of them,
The people around you.
Family, friends, and lovers
All gone without a
Trace.
The world is empty,
Empty as the darkening sky.
It is quiet now,
Quiet as death.
Not even the birds sing
For there are no birds.
We will walk on
Step after step
Searching for love
Searching for meaning
Searching for reasons
We find nothing
Time and time again
Questions unanswered
We call out to the blackened sky
Why us? Why are we
Here?
Treading heavily on
Broken pavement,
Mirroring broken spirits,
We walk on into the darkness.
Days getting shorter,
Air becoming thinner,
Yet we walk.
We walk on,
Step by step.
As our lives
Shorten each step,
We wonder whether
We are still alive.
Is this life?
Life as we knew it?
We slowly forget what
It was like
Before the end,
Before the darkness.
Memories fade away as easily
As the light of the days
Fades into the cold nights.
We all know,
We know that the end
For us is near,
Nearer than we hoped.
Someday we said,
Someday it will be better.
With regretful acceptance,
We know it will end.
Yet we walk,
We will walk on
Step by step.
Until the darkened sky claims
Us.
We
Are
Free
Once
Again.

so is no one going to comment or what?

Of course we're going to comment... we're just getting old and slow, and some of us work full time (lol)

Very apocalyptic. Reminds me of some of my own dreams.

It might be easier reading without the double spacing.

yeah, it was copied into here from a typesetting word processor so it's weird
I'll fix it if I ever get time

thanks
