Armageddon
October 13, 2023
The World ended, not with a bang,
but with a sniffle.
a tear.
a cracked voice.
First came the Horseman of Silence;
Shielding yourself from your own thoughts,
Restraining your own tongue,
Holding back the words we both wanted to hear.
Then came the Horseman of Anxiety;
Anxiety planted the seeds of resentment,
The seeds of regret, doubt and depression,
Deep within its fertile soil.
Next was the Horseman of Distance;
Driving its wedge between our time and space,
Breaking promises of seeing each other again,
Numbing us in preparation for the final Horseman.
The Horseman of Decision
The coldest Horseman
The most painful Horseman
The necessary Horseman
They ushered in Armageddon
A battle of love and lost feelings
But as with most battles,
it could have been avoided.
Had we just talked.
The World would still be here.
The World would have thrived.
Because you were my world.
