He left me in a pit.
A deep, dark, unholy sewer.
Maybe I deserved it
Maybe I didn't.
He left me here
All the same.
The familiar smells of
Gummi bears and root beer,
The kiss of black midnight
Cold, on my forehead,
Will forever linger in my mind,
In my heart.
He left me in a pit.
A dank, evil, shudder-producing place.
Maybe I deserved it
Maybe I didn't.
He left me here
All the same.
The drip, drop of a tear
Slaps my cheek.
I sit up and seek
Something that isn't there.
The tear is some water runoff.
There is a leak,
Looking to drown me.
He left me in a pit.
A dank, evil, shudder-producing place.
Maybe I deserved it
Maybe I didn't.
He left me here
All the same.
A ray of light,
A sunbeam blinds for a moment.
I squint, shield my eyes
And look up to the heavens,
The mouth of my well.
A halo of golden shines
Around perfect features.
You smile and
Reach out to me.
He left me in a pit.
A dank, evil, shudder-producing place.
Maybe I deserved it
Maybe I didn't.
He left me here
All the same.
You pluck me up
And kiss my eyes.
Tell me I'm beautiful.
Rescue me,
Recognize me.
Look beyond what I've done,
Choosing not to dwell on the past.
You place me on a pedestal,
Made of ivory, gold and pearls.
Maybe I deserve it
Maybe I don't.
You placed me here
All the same.
