from the edge of the unreal world

Preface  There is a moment when every bridge behind you burns and the road ahead is all that remains. This poem is about crossing that line—about carrying your scars forward even when no map, star, or sign is left to guide you.

The loneliness of a fading town, The emptiness of changing hearts— They’re all swept away To where they once came from, Or maybe to nowhere at all. New days keep coming, endlessly. Even if the past memories decay. Everything I’ve lived until now Feels like a dream. Why am I here? W...
