The Last Line

A Poem

By Atomic HistorianPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

I’ve been the last line to many

Just another pretty penny

A daring glance

A lark

A shot in the dark

A tree that harkens you to rub against its bark

Because the universe truly does like to play games with our heart

We were never intended to be here so long

That’s why once you reach this point

You reflect

And so much feels wrong

The longer you think about it

And that’s why so many quit

They want out

Some how

Some way

We know that working this long

The pain

Is worth a lifetime of getting away
