A Long Walk

From dusk till dawn
walked all alone for hours
the walk got shorter

From dawn till dusk
walked with others for hours
the days just kept getting longer and longer

From dawn till dawn 
walked alone again
time stopped

From dusk till dusk
walked with others who were here 
feels like forever, void of light in the ichor of vapid obsidian

From hell to heaven
walked with God
never been happier, though this walk seems longer than all the rest
my feet calloused and my heart torn asunder, damages done, wish me all the best.

Now, why in the hell did I forget to buy some new shoes?

new shoes give you blisters; old shoes are the best so walk on my friend; it keeps you fit and you probably find the odd poem on the way! Great poem to enjoy! Luv, Lizzie
