Rounds

This is what happened 

that fateful night. 

I sat alone, in the cold. 

I watched and waited 

through the night,

Desperation twisting 

Within my mind.  

The haze, 

the buzzing, 

all the noise, 

The needs and wants and 

anticipation. 

It all filled up 

in my soul. 

It took my hand, 

it led me out. 

It led me down 

On the path

On the way to

annihilation. 

I wait alone, 

in the cold. 

I breathe and hope 

you'll turn around.  

I watch in darkness

As I sit

And see the past

Repeat it's rounds.
