The Inevitable Abandonment

Unwanted

Unneeded

Shelved

That's what happens to 

Ragdolls 

When they dare to love 

Little boys who lie

About forever

Finality

Will there be a time

I can remember and 

Not bleed

Will I ever just

Forget it hurts

Will I be able to put

One foot in front of

The other 

Without the bed of coals

The scarf says yes

The bullet says yes

The razor says yes

The fumes say yes 

The bottle says yes

The pills say yes

My soul finally listens to them and

Whispers back 

Yes 

Hostage

Haunted 

Shriveled husk 

The disease

Eating away

Gnawing

Leaving nothing behind

Be proud Dr Frankenstein

Of the creature you made

Look at it and know

You're the father of despair

The parent of worthlessness 

The mastermind of a broken soul

No one could ever love

A thing as hideous

As what stares back at me

Reflected in

My prison windowpane
