Dying Lights

As he looks.
towards the door.
he gets a s a sickening feel.
deep in his core.

the lights are flickering.
telling him that he lost.
all his hard work.
lost, at what cost?

that door was his life.
the source of his dreams.
now all is wrong.
at least for him it seems.

he makes his choice.
he takes the girls hand.
and they walk to the left.
...not quite as he planned.

he wanted the door.
but he now see's there's no hope.
but for now he must cope
