Left to Rot

Alone on the front porch

Under the dark sky

Slow exhalation

With tears in her bloodshot eyes

"You took them from me

For no reason

What have I done

to deserve this hell?"

I used to believe

I used to see

The sun when I woke up

The night remains

Silent as a grave

Silent as a grave

Time stopped the moment

the steel pierced their bodies

There is no mercy

There has never been justice

The sun has set

For one last time

All the light and glory

beneath the horizon

I used to believe

I used see

The sun when I woke up

Promises seep away

Like the tears we shed

You turned a blind eye

Our prayers never left the room

God forsaken planet
