Nameless

I stood there still 
Sunset sunrise 
Bodies dropped tired 
Side by side 
I held them up 
Who’s behind me ?
I can’t see
Can I fall now 
I’m too weak 
I took a chance 
I hit the ground hard 
I guess no one was behind me 
All I felt was knives that stabbed deeper 
The cold floor 
Concrete
Blood .. Red as a rose 
My own 
Now 
My lips are blue 
And my heart is ice 
Punished? 
eyes blind folded 
Arms cuffed 
They send me on my way
Through filed of thorns 
Broken glass 
Bare feet 
I cry no more 
I feel no more 
I hope no more 
From the cold 
I am numb 
And though I am numb 
I can tell you it’s the worst type of pain 
To feel nothing 
I poke at my heart 
To see if It’s alive 
I breath 
I survive 
Whispering prayers under my breath
Screaming silently 
Till there is nothing left 
Save me lord 
From those who take but never give 
From those who look but never see
From those who hear but never listen 
And though I feel dead inside 
I live 
Lord save me from Me
