Left for Dead
Death crept and wrapped its arms around many
With its loving embrace, which my eyes have seen
My eyes have retreated and sunk into the dark
Faith crumpled and the wind blows carrying its dust
A walking skeleton is in the mist
Can you see my bones poking through my skin?
Hunger beats me and roars with anger
wishing for just a ration of bread and butter
The number forever etched into my skin
A constant reminder of the demons and the terror they have brought
Lives in a world where the devil runs and plays
How can you recover from a life filled with pain?
