Everything Was Beautiful

Everything Was Beautiful

The pillars that once held up my world,
now fallen and crumbled into dust.
Forever now I walk the sands,
my broken world, just a barren wasteland.

What should I do, now that chaos has settled in?
The perfection I once had, gone in mere seconds.
Never will it go back to how it was, never to be the same.
How will I survive this new place, when it's somewhere I've never been?

The lights have gone out and all is dark.
I can't see anymore.
Perhaps it's for the best, no longer can I see the destruction.
Perhaps I'm next, maybe the next mark.

How am I to rebuild without a foundation?
No stability to hold it up and together.
I lost what I had and won't find it again.
It all vanished without any explanation.

The darkness is cold, it blinds me, numbs me.
I feel sick to my stomach and as though a giant block of ice is within.
I shiver from the cold and cover my mouth.
Is this what it's come to, is this what it's to be?

Hope is lost, strength is gone.
I lay down and pray for it all to end.
No solution, no salvation, I am alone and dying.
How did it get this far, my perfect world, my Elysium, gone...

Ripped at the seams, torn apart, left behind and no use to hold on.
