The Last Man Alive

I thought I heard voices
but they were just echos;
echos of the past
and echos have no ears.

 

And a nagging voice told me,
"Give up your search.
You are the last man alive.
You are the last".

 

I thought I saw others
but they were just ghosts
playing out old games
and they couldn't see me.

 

And a nagging voice tells me,
"Give up your search.
You are the last man alive".

 

But I must go on
just to hear real voices
amidst the choir of echos;
amidst the crowd of phantoms,
just to find real souls.
