Abandoned

Haunting hallucinations plague the mind
Seeping poison into the soul

The smell of decaying flesh snakes
Through the jagged wounds your knife has created

As my soul agonisingly dies
I plead from my knees for your mercy

As you kneel before me and our eyes meet
Hope glimmers in my fading soul
But
The edge of your knife 
Paints the red smile across my neck 

Emotionless you walk away 
Never to look back
Immune to the destruction you have left behind

While my broken soul weeps eternally
