Chapter 83

One Once

Look around NOW, you are surrounded
By those that have abandoned you
The one that was once the closest
Has been pushed the farthest from you

You have built a mighty fortress
That has grown empty and cold
Life is passing by every second
No one gets younger, only old

Timbers crack, walls bend and buckle
Look into the empty darkness so black
There is still one that was once the closest
That has always helped protect your back

As the world crushes and injures you
No one around you can see it develop
You do gain strength and support from
A heart and soul yours once did envelop

Anguish, pain, suffering and anger
Are not able to be seen by those
Who have willingly abandoned you
Only the one you once chose, knows

Life is the final battlefield
There is no surrender or retreat
Dig in, hold on and fight
Soon enough the Maker we meet

Nobody
