Stale As the Wind-New

Stale as the wind was, so was my soul,
unveiling my poor essence for crumbs-
Forgetting I was lost at sea…
when you came and abandoned me.

Encompassed by sin without forgiveness,
feeling all the shame of loss and regret-
Forgetting we were meant to be…
when you came and abandoned me. 

I saw you standing there with the
stale wind blowing through your hair-
Forgetting how I longed to be free…
when you came and abandoned me.
