Pillars of Salt

This is where it leads you, you know?
It breaks you down.

You look back - one time,
and you stop regretting. Then
You look ahead, and
You stop hoping -
You learn to forgett.

Names, Faces, Children, Parties
Reruns, Holidays, -
Yourself.

You become the sum of your long years,
-you always feel tired.
-you stop smiling.
You forgett how to smile.

You look out on a world -Full
Empty faces, names
you can't quite place.

You look back - one time,
Then you leave.
