Drain Me

I used to be strong
I used to be stable
I used to be sturdy
I used to be something you could lean on
Walk on,
Stand on,
Then you came,
You and your greed,
You and your machines
Dug into me,
You drilled into my core,
You drained the life out of me,
Took away a part of me,
Then you left,
With your claws still tangled in my flesh,
You left me,
Hollow,
Unstable,
Breakable,
Vulnerable,
You left me,
A ghost
Of
What
I
Was
