The End

[NickyA]

Then the salt rain came

When the light

Was taken away.

Leaving blackness

Darker than it has ever been

No pin prick of hope

Flashed across the horizon

No colour in the flowers

That shared their beauty in a world that

Had stopped turning

No words could explain

Or actions help

To take away the pain

An agony of spirit soul so hurt,

Damaged, a mind deranged

Nothing can reach the bottomless depth

Of emptiness within

Changed forever, never mending

A broken shell adrift in the arid desert

That is called life

A false parody of living that has lost

All meaning

All direction and

All purpose.
