You know something has failed
You feel it in the air
It’s palpable, you can touch it
But it’s not really happening, right?

You’ve put in the work
When you thought it was time
And though nothing has changed
Surely, this cannot be true?

You have invested so much
You are not one to fail
Yet you know that it’s gone
This is anything but that, right?

Ice caps melt, tsunami has struck
You’re in a field of debris
Hell itself has frozen over
But you must stay the course?

The time has come
Shambles is thy name
Dirt showers the coffin
Monumentally decayed.
