Childhood gone wrong

Emptiness
Clouds his soul, shrouds his mind.
He cannot forget, can't help but regret
That he still has a piece of himself to find.

Where is it?
An answer perhaps he shouldn't know.
He's too insecure, not really mature,
enough to let those pathways grow.

Happiness
Takes him under, he's so overjoyed.
And yet his mind wanders, he still looks beyond her.
And he still cannot see why she's so annoyed?

Why is that?
He knows inside himself that's he's failed her.
She'll fight past the pain, she's trying to regain,
The world which - inevitably - is gone forever.

Forgotten
He's had the same chance for seventeen years.
He could have tried harder, could have gone even farther.
But instead drugs have dried his tears.

Lying broken.
He's in too far, there's no chance of escape.
He's twisted his feelings, couldn't find the meaning.
Did he really think it would help if he raped?...

............

The future?
No future remains for these two distant souls.
He wasted his life, she's turned to the knife.
As they continue to dig themselves deeper holes.
