Abandoned
Location
I heard my worth in your words
I saw my value in your acts
Melodies that cannot be unheard
Sights taken as fact
Unheard tears
Echoed by whispered prayers
So many questions that led to fears
Have you left me beyond repair?
My pillow holds my voice
Unheard words left hanging in the air
As the closing door shows your choice
Reminding me that life is unfair
These lies you taught me
Sound as truth in the dark
A loud screaming marquee
Confusing who I am with who you are
Worth my struggle, and value my demon
On this journey, shame my unwanted companion
I want nothing more than to find freedom
From the shackles of being abandoned
You left, I know I can make it on my own
But now I fear that loving me may be rough
I long to be loved, to be fully known
And to know that who I am is enough
