the only one
by Everett A Warren

where do you go
when there is nothing
nothing but hatred
dripping from blades
like poison
nothing but fear
that what was
is no longer
and what may be
may not be

when worlds
come down around you
where do you go

when you are
destroyed

and
you
realise

you're
the only one
left

to
assemble
the
pieces...

where?

I just read this several times in succession. It's always slightly eerie to read something that someone else has written that puts into words what you are feeling. Very much a sense of - `but how do they *know*?' even when you know it is a coincidence.

Just goes to show that human beings are more alike than we all like to think. And that words are incredibly powerful tools.

... which is particularly ironic in cases like this, because unquestionably you feel as if you are "the only one" and that's never the way it is.

Which, of course, is impossible to convince yourself of when you're in that state...

Exactly. People are peculiar like that, aren't we? ;-)

I think they go to a lawyer.
