The Sole Survivor

The Sole Survivor

I race through city streets to find an end;
The cold cement, my dearest friend.
Sweats and shivers claw up my spine,
Constricting it, a malice vine.
I'm paralyzed, and I'm waning down;
I'm greeted by the solid ground.
I look around but to no relief;
I bite my tongue with jagged teeth.
The pain released is all I feel,
The blood drips down and seems unreal.
Calling out, there's no response;
Solitude has become the cost.
I've roamed the land to find someone,
My faithful friend, the rising sun.
A vacant world has become my home,
And this wasteland is my throne.

(A vacant world has become my home, And this wasteland is my throne.) - Couldn't agree more. Maybe its the lack of love. Maybe everybody is small minded. Maybe we're all too afraid to show affection anymore. Maybe we're all selfish. Who knows. I like the feel of this poem. I relate to this. Well described.

I could be wrong but I pictured that one twighlight zone episode where the guy finds himself to be the sole survivor of a nuclear holocaust.

Oh ha really? I didn't know there was such an episode.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
