An outcast
in the fierce felling sun,
nowhere to hide,
nowhere to run.
Her heart tied down
by chains of sorrow,
an empty shell beating
uneven and hollow
against the chamber walls,
no one to answer
any of her calls.
Hiding in the shadow of light
Alone.
No one to talk to,
No one calls on the phone.
Blinded by her own lies
building in spite
blood stained tears
flow from her sad eyes
flowering on her thighs
until she finally
dies ...
Helpless, shivering, cold
in despair, a spirit was sold.
For her, the sorrow she will keep.
In heaven, the angels weep.
