Suffering

By:Sarah Wood

And I will be but a passing shadow, and then you will forget

Just an object, indistinguishable to human limitations

My life has been in vain, there is no purpose, no depth

You pass by me, show me compassion, then forget

What was your purpose, if ever you had one?

I am shunned, always denied my place, used, abused

You use me as a tool, only good when useful

I am not a puppet to be used at your disposal

You say you believe in morals and justness

How is this when you fail to live by these ethics yourself?

You lie and you cheat

In the end, you only cheat yourself

I expected better

Your words and your actions show the hypocrisy within

How did you deceive me so?

How long will this go on?

Day to day I suffer in mortal agony; there is no peace

Please let me die, for a part of me has already passed into darkness

I am forever searching for the soul that I lost when I lost you

Death seems the only choice, for the light does not shine on my broken spirit.
