Ruins Poem by Matt Burgett

A cry out for lost hope
Has led me to a dead end
No room left to turn back now
And nothing left to defend

The feelings I feel for having turned
The wrong way down a narrow path
Has me left with no more hope
But the hope for this day to be my last

No friends and no-one left
To give hugs to get me through
No desire left to fight
And no chance of ever finding you

So for this I apologize
For my fate to end up as is
Lying face down in my own thoughts
Dreaming of nothing but a wish

A wish to be with you and happy
Not a pile of what I am now you see
I don't know why but my life has slipped
Leaving it in ruins within me
