was there ever anything here

was there not a city

a city ruled over

by an addled king

whose throne of broken dreams

and empty promises

who liars throne

upon which the one

who said they would always be here

no longer exists

as everything has a beginning

everything has an end

the world is always ending

the world is always being reborn

maybe one day

year

decade

century

millennia

the addled king will return

but know it now

today

is not

that day
