Left To Rot
Betrayal leads to a despair like none other. Is there any consolation? No. It is a
mark that bleeds continuously, as you weaken with dread.
This poem is about someone being left in the cold with no consolation and no
comfort. All that is felt is the sharp twinge of pain and the deepest sadness that is
easily ignited and difficult to put out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
prick your way through darkness
pluck those useless strings
sugar-coated regrets
lost forever through dreams
questions filter in the shadows
cruel thought mixed with dread
treading through heartless meadows
my echoes left for dead
you left me cold in the voids of time
your heartless heart still beats in me
I see the deepness of those eyes
even though you aren't here with me
watching the water drain
kill that time, kill that pain
beat me down, wake me up
please don't hurt me again
pluck your guitar
bring me down to ruin
you seem so far
time is brewin'...
time in all its humbleness
will take me in this wilderness
to tie me in these endless knots..
for now
I rot..I rot...I rot...
left in the wilderness
to rot...
to rot.
