A Slow and Painful Death

I came home for awhile,

or at least to the place

which had once been home,

but now,

was nothing more

than a distant memory;

I came searching for a life,

and answers to questions

lying hidden deep inside,

instead, all I found was death,

and even greater questions,

for which the answers are

neither known,

nor is there any desire

for them to be so,

as I left,

no closer than the day

I arrived,

this place was dying

a slow, and painful death.
