I sit alone at your doorstep

I sit alone at your doorstep

So depleted and refused by today



My soul has been longing

My body waiting to flee



Tears are flowing down my cheeks

My voice has lost its only key



Used and abused by my past

Empty and down on my knees



My skin has been used by a substance

In return of hope and glee



I often find myself begging

As my soul was spent upon thee



Miseries of joy have cast a spell

Of tormented death upon me



So I dance so fiercely in reprieve

With the rivers of joy

And my worn out dreams



I set out on a spending spree

To flaunt the relics of me



Knowing that my days are numbered

I spend the rest of me



Deceived and dejected by the traits of death

The spells are rationed now, it said



My life is so vacant now

Profusely sweating with my needs



I see my virtues burning in hell

This thorny world that I tried to dwell



Scorned by the compulsions of life

My ending is nowhere in sight
