Failing All

I stand aside and watch monuments crumble,
They fall in flakes, chips and chunks,
Weakened over seasons by the storm that is me.

I kneel before them and crack with them,
Testament of failed character, failed self, failed soul,
I seek solace in the deaf space only to find more destruction.

I will never stop, I am the end of all,
I, the chief among the four horsemen,
I brought this plague and it now consumes me.

I lay myself down at the foot of these once great monuments,
Family, hope, life once alive and abundant,
Now, I pass quietly from these ruins, having failed all.

A beautiful story told with a broken heart.Spring is near. Hopefully that will melt away some of the cold and ice surrounding you inside and out
