Devastated
Take me out of here and,
Never bring me back to this dungeon
Hell for the monkeys
What eyes could see what i have seen without going blind?
What mouth could speak of where i have been without going
dumb?
My legs wobbled and trembled
Hands held high in defeat
I have been through hell
And it rejected me, begged for my leave
Devastated, enraged, shattered and desperate
Who could believe it was caused by a friend?
Most trusted and honoured among all
It pays to work with an enemy rather than a friend.
My eyes are dim and weak.
Love and passion gone to exile
Strength dashed away sadly
She betrayed me, authorities took over
In a trickish violated manner
I became dumb, never allowed to say a word
Became the morning and afternoon scapegoat
Feeble after the hundred metre race
To save a bereaved life.
All she had to do was sit back
Watch the harvest song play out
Then, i follow
Once i stepped in and fall
She got an instant scape goat.
Out there, the air and people molested me.
A sharp fire ripped a hole in my stomach
I'm not sure whether a rage or pain but it hurt so much
Always in a dead silence against my right
Behind this bar, i felt blood drained from my face
Each seconds i looked at her
She's breathing heavily_panting through her sobs.
As a friend and liar
A lunatic and a lover
As a bored rich kid, a fear nothing thrill seeker
An odds defying gambler and even,
For the briefest of moment, as a perfect daughter in-law
I have seen her every where in between
But never as a betrayer
I reread her names half a thousand times
The calmest among us zubem
Thus fear a silent man
A fist of nausea punches in the throat,
And my chest caved in
With the taste of freedom on my tongue
Inside my chest, a volcano of rage explode
But in all dear do take me out of this dungeon.
