Deviants and Devine

They pass you by
Like ghosts not there
You close your eyes
They disappear 

They're deviants 
They steal and run
You never saw
Their lives undone

You never read
Their stories sad
You'll never live the life
They've had

In their way
They are divine
The real souls
Worn but shine

Lost but lucid
They twist and turn
Innocence 
Watch it burn

You'll always see them
Ignore their pain 
Purest souls
Drowned in rain

They are divine
And you are so
Recognise 
Them as they go
