Can’t promise the world (not dated).
Dried leaves and dirt in my mouth.
Not even the dead at my feet.
Encased in rusted barbed wire
is what’s left of my body after you’d
robbed me of my soul.
I should have known you’d end me like this.
You promised me the world, but I never lived
to feel your kiss.
You promised me life
and still I’m parched.
You promised me eternity
yet you can’t see me withering away.
You promised me sanctuary
and still I’m lost in the dark.
You promised me electricity
yet I still have no energy
-not a flicker of light
-not even a spark.
You promised me paradise and tranquility
yet all I have is a dried out hole of
dead earth as lifeless as you’ve made me.
I haven’t even the comfort of the blood in my veins
You left me with no choice but to die for you
Somehow I deserve this hell you’ve created
because it never rains.
