Something I obviously lost as i cant find it.
lost so long ago I cant remember exactly how I lost it,
yet so recent its reminder stabs me through the heart.
I search by walking down the path before me.
it started out in a nice neighborhood,
well kept yards and children in the street.
families together under their roofs'
now there's a cliff off to one side.
abandoned homes to the other.
crows watch me from the ridge poles.
I think they know I'm lost.
soon the cliff gives way to a nothingness, a void.
the homes are now ruins barely poking out of the hard packed earth
and i haven't seen a living thing since the crows left.
maybe I'll only go just a bit further.
