Abandoned

exiled thoughts in a vacant lot
an abandoned path that trails 
He loves me...He loves me not

a thousand dreams all forgot
heavy emptiness behind veils
exiled thoughts in a vacant lot

fragile pain in rust and wrought
Dead Sea of tears, sorrow sails
He loves me...He loves me not

left on doorstep, is what you got
a lonely home, struggles and fails 
exiled thoughts in a vacant lot
 
fate untied an entangled knot
drifting apart, now hate entails
He loves me...he loves me not

lost in orbit, burdens brought
pangs of past, all trust derails
exiled thoughts in a vacant lot
He loves me...He loves me not
