Nothing Left

by Kris Lynn   Jan 10, 2005


Looking down, I don’t like what I see
I’m not the person that I think I should be
Same thing, same place, everyday
I can’t leave, but there’s no reason to stay
Walking with the ones that put on a smile
But lying to me all the while
I walk alone, did I choose the wrong trail
No one sees my tears, no one hears me yell
No one to trust they all had a knife
Into my back, I have no more life
I tried to turn to him, but he turned around
Now I find me laying face down on the ground
I am left now to wonder, here all alone
What have I done, why have they gone
Looking for the light when all I see is darkness
Stripped away, I have no bliss
I’m left to look up I can fall no more
There is no more down when I’m on the floor
I am trying now to wait for something
Afraid of nothing, I look not again

    Despair. No fear, no hope, just empty. Burned out to the point that even though the worst is over, you cannot bear to rise again. That's what I felt from it, anyway. Been there. That's a 5 for me.
