Deserted

Deserted By Kevin Robey November 15, 2013 Shocked as hell I made it this far Starving out here, the art is bizarre Dancing around, the shadows taunt me Like the sun blinding me until I can’t see Can’t recall how long I’ve been stuck out here Fearing what I remember will surely disappear It’s becoming a haze, the surrounding landscape Losing everything as my reflection changes shape Wandering alone, but it’s better this way Fading away from the hell of yesterday Hungrier today won’t waste these words away Let them save me now, hold them at the bay The demons stay away in the sea of broken dreams A starving man deserted here, it isn’t what it seems Don’t look for my corpse, cause I won’t sleep again I won’t let the demons win and penetrate my skin See me off into that distant sunset horizon once more Where I’m heading now isn’t where I was before I’ll keep on walking west till’ I burn into the sun Come with me my skeletons, the damage left undone
