Unmeasurable ruin

Reddened palms, and severe strained perception. 

Sunken stones, and a misplaced direction. 

Torn out pages, and faltered steps. 

Unkissed lips, and regardless contempt. 

Barren wastelands, and cigarette smoke. 

Heaviest affection, and a wind well blown. 

Induced oblivion, and ascending peaks. 

Plummeting valleys, and willows that weep. 

Provoked altercation, and hands that shake.

Well kept promises, and earths that quake. 

One simple stature, and one complicated mind. 

She knew what it all meant, and it drove her blind.
