That Day I Was Walking Poem by Aria Ellen

That day I was walking
Alone in the town
The trees whispered past me
The branches bent down

As those steps grew nearer
Mine farther away
I simply decided
That I should mark my way

Forget using breadcrumbs
What I used was sin
Utilizing my wealth
Of evils within

Every small confession
Was equal to the crime
And soon I was purged
But saw nowhere to climb

While walking into nothing
With naught but my eyes
I wished with my whole heart
That I’d said my goodbyes

But I’d kept too busy
With my own self worth
To secure some assurance
In our somber rebirth

No retreat from this nothing
I’ll take the abuse
Because God really doesn’t
Want to hear my excuse

And there’s nothing more lovely
Than soft four lined verse
And there’s nothing more worthless
Than the jingle of your purse.
