Price You Pay

What’s it worth?
What’s the cost?

Do you account
for all you’ve lost?

Where are your friends-
The ones you tossed?

Where is your fam-
All those you double-crossed?

They’re all left there
beneath the dust

You may have things
but your heart’s enmossed

You have no hope
Your dreams’ star-crossed

Your life’s in tatters
Tempest-tossed

Was this journey you chose
worth
eternal
emotional
permafrost?
