Chapter 192

Branded

Wherefore art thou
Why have I been abandoned
What have I ever asked of you
What have I ever demanded

Forsake me not
Alongside you I have fought
Now when I call and plead
It is me you have forgot

What is happening
I can not understand
Burnt into my heart and soul
I carry YOUR brand

You can see, hear and feel
The emotional scar you branded upon me
Forever seared into my mind
I can NEVER un-see

The endless drudge of life
Drags me down like quicksand
But you turn from me, reject me
Not taking my pleading sinking hand

Nobody
