Chapter 172

That Was Then

When you felt empty and tortured
You were left to suffer all alone
No one to care or understand
Lower than a dog without a bone

Left with damage to yourself
Part tarnished forever, some would heal
But no one could see the damage
Done to your mind for real

You thought of ways to escape
To end the suffering and torment
Why should you be punished
For things you could not prevent

As the love and caring vanished
You became tolerant and indifferent
Hoping to repair the damage
As life you tried to circumvent

If only someone felt the same
Just somebody to embody
To know and care and listen
Sadly as you looked you saw NOBODY

THAT WAS THEN

Nobody
