Abandoned, here I lie
Unwanted, will not try
Dejected, am I to blame?
Burnt, like moth to flame.
I hoped to dream this time would last
I felt belonging, no longer outcast
So cruel of you to make me believe
That you were different and wouldn't leave
So now I sit and stare out the window
Waiting for a new family to come say hello
Before they see whatever you saw I will confess
Don't waste our time you will find I am worthless

Emptiness surrounds. Loveless baron grounds. No arms wrapped tightly around. Nothing lost, nothing found. A desolate place. An isolated space. An emotionless face. A body covered in lace.
I wrote this about 3 years ago and ever since I've wanted to make it into a song. Unfortunately I am quite bad at doing so and so it remains a small poem ...
A sleepless night Without you by my side A lonely night Can't dry my tears, I tried.
I'm here. Do you not see me. I'm here. Do you not hear the desperation in every word left unspoken. I'm here. Do you not feel my presence; worn and anxious and praying for you to call my name.
If you had me it would be great We'd push the universe aside Going our own way Upon this joyous ride But only, only if..
