Shipwrecked

Little to live for; when tears fall like rain
I’ve been left in the back yard; tied by a chain.
    Love turned to habit; it controls what I do?
    And when logic is fleeting; does that make me a fool.
 The man with the bible; he judges her bad;
 But she was the best friend; that I ever had.
   Living life as a prisoner; behind a closed gate;
   Reaction to action; does love precede hate?
