NAMELESS -2nd

A poor soul, born without a name 
Whose heart was caught in senseless game 
Where shameless hearts devour the meek 
And righteous have no right to speak 

No-show parents he did not know 
Left him to freeze in flakes of snow 
And destiny denied his name 
Although in shame, he had a fame 

For, callous hearts devoured his trust 
False friends consumed him to the crust 
He's left with nothing but an ache 
That brings him nightmare when awake 

In one corner, he sat alone 
Feeling his heartaches to the bone 
For, no one knew him like he's ghost 
Shunned by those that he loved the most

Nameless, neglect, nightmare words poetry contest 
2nd place
