I am the one left behind.

I am the shadow that

will endure in your mind.

I will disturb your dreams.

I am the one death

left behind.

One to forever wander

this forsaken world.

I was left.

All alone in the dark,

you’re the one who did this

so don’t play innocent.

Do not weep for me,

for this is how I had

hoped it would all

end for my life.

Beaten by taunts,

harassment, and betrayal.

These feelings,

they taste so sweet.

Won’t you come sit

with the one you scorned.

Come here,

let me see you one last time.

I feel as if I am drowning.

Please, stop drowning me,

let me up for air.

I am helpless.

My cries mean nothing to you.

Are you too ignorant

to listen?

I’ll cry all night if I have to.

I can’t go anywhere.

I fear blood.

I fear death.

I fear the unknown.
