The truth

By Dragonfly

Nothing.
             What stood at the end of the tunnel?
Nothing.
             Erased it all.
Nothing.
             Embraced the fall.
Nothing.
             Waited for
Nothing.
             Looking for
Something
                 Worth Looking for
Nothing,
             Yet finding it all.
                                             Pressure builds
                             Levees fill
Watch them break
                             Tears flow over
A whole world to take
                                  A truth realesed
        We lost the fake
                                  Words undone
           No longer neat
                                   A deadly end
    For a world to meet
                                                                                                      The truth

    ...the way you set up this poem, putting the truth over there out of reach...& so it is in life.
