Oblivion

I look at the world differently now... what could have been is no more, time has crept upon my life seizing precious gifts given to me taking away life and leaving emptiness, no more brightness, only dull colors remain. Lifeless statues litter the terrain behind me, emotionless cold stares are all that is left of what could have been. No, what should have been, damn it! There is more time to go... months and years of dull grey crushing my hope and my life. Oh my god! Where the hell did it all go so wrong? This hopeless feeling never goes away, it squeezes the breath from my existence, no light is seen at the end of this tunnel, no grand prize, no congratulations, only dull grey emptiness surrounds me, it is all that I have left, it has become me! Time ticks loudly and perversely in my ears, it crushes my spirit, it sickens my soul. 12/09/2015 For "Oblivion" contest sponsored by Rob Carmack.
