Endlessly

Nothing ever gets to its own end…

Source: Wikipedia

So despite the way things fell shattered
And despite the way events left him bare
Like it was over
And despite the bottle of booze
And the ways of escape
And the feeling that he would never rise again
After a fall
It simply didn’t end
And he was still there
Staring at pieces that were left behind
Pieces of love
Pieces sacrificed
Things that were shared
And there he stayed
Wanting it to be over
And yet the World changed
As he remained lost in an ending
Never realising that all the while it was instead a beginning
There he stood torn
Between one moment and the next
So far disassociated and removed
That he forgot how to take the next step
And his World grinded swiftly to a halt
As he handed the past over to tomorrow
So unaligned with today
And yet he still changed
As all things do
Endlessly
