Lost Soul Acrostic

Left behind without a friend.
Only to have to face the end.
So lonely here all by myself.
The dust is thick up on the shelf.

Severely damaged, alone and burned.
On a journey where nothing's learned.
Until the dusk swallow's me whole.
Living my life while I lost my soul.

For the acrostic contest.

Idon't know what an acrostic is but makes no difference as the poem is what's important. Has a message that's all too common so there are many who will think it is written for them.
