nothing really matters
at the end of this road
the lawyers will be buried
right next to all the thieves
good and bad used to exist
in our minds, long since decayed
but now we've all been shot and charred
these concepts are just dreamlit shapes.
we danced under the beating
of a speaker, not a heart,
and deep down we cried
cause we never saw the night
the soft, glowing moon
peering through the clouds
singing songs, reminding us
of everyone we lost
and so the poem ends
with nothing left to say
just vague and wistful lines
to spill out on this page
in the hopes that i
could find some peace of mind
but all i got was sadness
and a hodgepodge lullabye.
