Meaningless Crusade

By Wayne Russell

 

The electricity

that we felt

between us,

is now

snuffed out.

The flicker of a

flame, now

doused.

No more euphoric

rapture, only a

whirlpool consuming

emotions, everything

pulling into a dark void.

Life is one meaningless

crusade, they will forget

that we ever existed by

morning.

They will leave our

memories to die.
