Isolation, my sweet friend...

Movement around me
Nothing catches my eye
Isolation, my sweet friend
"Its been too long." says the sadness
"Come on in." beckons the pain
Swallow my pride
Bow my head
Enter their embrace

Gazed into the abyss
Found nothing
Stared me down
Left me running
Tail between my legs

I battled with monsters
No better then them
Became one myself
So much for infallible
Who said I was?

Indoctrinated into the Hollow Men
Heart cremated like Sam Mcgee
Mind forging its own Calf Path
Will to live following in the footsteps of Dante Alighieri
Hope beaten and crucified

No way to end this
Abruptly won't do
So instead
Consider this
Love leads to pain
Contemplation to salvation
Everything to death.
