congratulations, you survived the war
but at what cost?
i wonder if one should soar,
and loudly to each other boast.

all i saw around me was destruction,
acid, rage, hate and human annihilation.
i wonder how did we even end up here,
when i only wanted to travel far and near.

on the shores of life, death and beyond,
destroying myself and all that i had formed.
one must bear the consequences for all that they sought,
but look at this torn land and the blood that's brought forth.

i did this all - brought this disaster upon myself,
i wish i hadn't but life could never reverse itself.
so i stand here in the land of blood, metal and ruins,
as the villain that i lived out to be, the villain i always will be.

i found skeletons, poisons and knives amongst this debris,
and yet, i found on your face a distant glee.
i hope you're doing better, better than you'd ever been.
i will stand here as the lone street light at this crime scene.

Thanks for stopping by to read! Hope you like it :)
