The Apex

Simply waiting

By Ria Published about a year ago 1 min read

You stand in silence// At its apex// Alone and lonely.

Waiting on baited breath// For whispers in the wind.

No pillars of community to guard you// Shadows eager to consume you.

A test of wills// Decimated// A test of determination// Extinguished long ago.

Its cold and dark where you stand// waiting on baited breath.

Drowning in cold sweats// Hot tears.

Anticipating the pouncing

Skirting around// Clinging to edges and walls.

Still seated upon your apex// Baited breath slipping// The air silent as ever.

No whispers// No guarding pillars.

All flattened in its wake// downed like forest fire.

Cold and lonely// Hot and alone// Stranded and struggling.

Waiting with baited breath at the apex of it all.
