The End
And so it ends,
with a carelessly mortal phrase;
a turn of the head,
an emotional daze.
Why the surprise?
It all ends in the end.
No-one cares,
We all pretend.
But it burns,
in the empty vastness inside.
At the centre of nothing,
too crushed to cry.
No-one comes to save you.
A shabby eviction.
You shamble, confused and pathetic,
outcast, alone:
loser, bathetic
And no-one comes to save you.
