The Long Nights

The long night, slowly moves along. I wander aimlessly, anxious for dawn. But the new day, same as the day before. I sadly have given up, hoping for more. As time goes by it gets harder to pretend, that this emptiness will oneday end. Maybe I am bitter, though I have tried not to be, Pain and sorrow, are here reminding me. I accept responsibility for things that I have done. But I will not carry the burden, of those who carry none. The way it all played out, didn't have to be, the war that raged between him and me. In the end, devastation and the loss it brings. Leaving a pile of rubble and a pair of tarnished rings. For me, it remains a struggle, day by day. It will end, when I can turn and walk away.
