I Watched As

I watched as 
I saw you crawling around
like a rat through the gutter
with a face full of confusion 
and
a soul full of woe
your backbone petrudes cause
you have been starved
straved of any kind of genuine emotion
and your heart has been shot up with venom
that will soon bleed out and dry you up
you tremble then fall
your body now lies decrepit
on the damp sewer floor
and right there you fall slain
and your tortured reality
carries that blame
