Untitled 15

Standing among the ruins
Of what was once my life
This pain will always linger
Long after the wounds are only scars
Searching for the answers
Where did it all go wrong?
When did I lose my way
Becoming so hopelessly lost?
The tides are always changing
A new day will soon dawn
But I will never be the same
Too many dreams torn apart
Promises broken, truths revealed as lies
The paradise I once foresaw
Is nothing but ashes now
Burned to the ground by flames of hatred
My soul ripped apart, left bleeding
On this altar of greed and fear
Sacrifice of innocence
Laid bare for lustful eyes
Take what you will, fulfill your needs
And leave me rotting, alone
