Left Behind

Why did I take that turn
I’m still asking myself
Why can’t I learn
Why couldn’t i have slowed down
Instead of speeding my way through life
I’m faded, degraded
To a dull gray
Still paying, decaying
Silence is the only sound
I’m left here all alone
Left behind in this cold world of mine
my family and my friends
I’ll never see again
left for dead in the end
maybe I’ll get my chance again
I’m vulnerable
More than I’ve ever been before
a house left unprotected
No locks and full of pen doors
For anyone, anything
To come along and pick me out
Kill me, devour me
Chew me up and spit me out

Back
