Abandoned

I’ve lost it all Memories choke the breath that dies to cry for help Into silence I've become No one saves me from the wounded heart within Under the shadow of dawn Dark clouds above chase the light away I’ve become desolate Hidden by betrayal I hear metal against metal as the nail drives The Current of loneliness pulls me under Screams fade Underpasses become your safe haven Shivering as if locked in a morgue Turning your collar to the cold damp world Empty streets whisper lonely lullabies Alleyways cast haunting memories of lonely deaths Filthy needles lay bare their forced injections Matted hair, smeared makeup, tell the tales... The wind chases away haunted screams As your flesh bleeds for its next desire. Your voice taunts this shattered mind I have lost the will to live Through your death, you left me abandoned.
