My Endeavor

Traversing the country lanes home
Unconsciously I’m guided to my throne
Alone I sit in my kingdom
No sensations, everything is numb
Memories of love entomb my life
Heartbreak acting like a knife
Fast and concise, Cutting through my core 
The wound will not scar and will be sore
My soul mate, my partner gone forever
Headlong I struggle and will endeavor
To live with my honest mistake
Idle I sit, waiting for the new daybreak
