Abandon me to walk this endless concrete path of depression
with no one by my side
With every step the sole in my shoe
mirrors the soul behind my skeleton
They decay in sync
Perfect four-four time
As I walk alone
A lost puppy
Kicked to the side of the the highway
Left to die
Stray leash still pulling the collar around my throat
Still slowly suffocating me
With no hand behind it anymore
The breeze is now the only thing responsible
For the lack of oxygen in my lungs
But not the only reason
My rib cage rattles
And feels ever expanding
In the constricting skin cells stuck on my limbs
It is vacant
Of emotion
The same feeling
As a young girl
Trapped under her comforter
As her alarm clock reads
3:47 am
And she can only find the will
to stare longingly at her bedroom ceiling
As her lips are sewn shut
By the monsters under her bed
And inside her head
That is what I've become
A lost traveler on this journey with no end
And I have been trapped in the same shoes
In the same footsteps
For all this time
For all of eternity
You have left me to wallow
in this fountain of pity and
I may just drown
But maybe that was the overall intention
in the first place
