Forsaken
Folder:
Life and Living Last week, someone betrayed me,
betrayed a long-standing trust,
negating all we ever believed in.
The pain is intense.
I picture myself as a wounded animal
crying in the desert, nowhere to go,
nothing to quench my thirst,
and no peace in sight.
I cry out to nobody, asking why I
have been forsaken. Nobody answers.
Why me, Lord?
There are no answers, only the
burning rays of a hot, unfamiliar sun.
This is not my life...
not my life.
This is someone else in a dream,
someone trying to frighten me.
Will I ever be able to crawl from these
arid emotions...this pain...this burning?
