Love Cast Out
Cast out and ashamed
People did not mention her name
She roamed the streets
Scavenged to eat
In a judgemental world
That saw her as weak
For loving someone that she shouldn't
And though she was cast out he was allowed
To carry on his unhindered
She though he loved her
But he considered sticking by her
And being cast out too
Was just too much for him to do
So he left to face this life alone
And remains in the comfort of his warm and loving home
Because he was forgiven
And she was punished
No she roams this life diminished
Without even that love or memory of it too hold on to
And it left her angry, bitter and confused
And through the dirt that smeared her face
And her clothes that were such a ragged disgrace
The remained a feminine beauty hidden beneath
The wild exterior that now exists
And that she needs to survive on these streets
And her dry eyes no no longer have the capacity to weep
And sadly she has lost all her belief
In love and humanity.
