Naturistic

Whipping wind at my heels
Speechless clouds overhead
Following me to my favorite place
The place I go alone

Its far out in the woods
Almost a mile and a half
I hike through the muddy woods
Hiding amongst the trees

Steadily, I make a mark

Slashing the tree over and over

The pain inside finally released

Anger boils up

Over my insides it goes

Eating at what's left

Of an already empty shell

I can't forget what you did

I can't forgive you either

My love for you was all I had

You took that with everything else

Take me out of this world

So I never have to hear your name again

Kill me, stab me, hate me

But you can't forget me

Memories float out of my head

Becoming as real as the river beside me

You stand next to me

Begging me not to go

You left me with no choice

After you'd gone, there was nothing inside

Ripped out and thrown away

Now I'm just a living shell.
