Stranded On This Here Sidewalk

You left me stranded on this here sidewalk
with nothing but a picture of the back of your car & a simple goodbye.





The gray skies are slowly fading to black
&
I've got nothing other than my stupid pride.









I walk right 'cause that's the only thing I've gotten right in weeks.
I quicken my pace to a full run.
I was running for dawn.
A new day for my new life.
A happy one that includes the people I trust.
Me and only me.





I wonder what its like to finally be in the real world?
Oh wait I'm here,



My feet stop.
I look around and breathe in the air of emptyness.
All that's around me is the dry dessert air and a few cactus's waiting for the daylight.
I was alone on this dessert road.



I heard the news that you were around. I just didn't believe them.
I never cared to listen just 'cause I didn't know you.
I don't know you.



"Hello there, my names Chelsey. Congratulations your the first new person
in my new life."

A smirk was placed on that face of yours
&
that's where it stayed.






I looked behind me
&
The light was breaking threw the black horizon.
I didn't want the night to end
everything good happens at night.




I waved goodbye
and left you stranded on this here sidewalk
with nothing but a picture of the back of me and a simple goodbye,
I was running for the darkness.





But you, followed me
                                  into the dark.
