Left Out



Huddled in the corner

Disillusioned

My lifeless stare is fixed

On your silhouettes

You’re disregarding me

Passing me by

Like I’m not even here

Maybe I’m not

Maybe I’m somewhere else



I used to be one of you

With the same spark in my eyes

And now I don’t belong to this place

It’s a matter of merciless time

I wholly vanish



The candle guttered out

The beauty elapsed

Could’ve been so wonderful



***



One day we could’ve met

And believed

We might live that way

Far away from the din

Envious looks

And chase for the prize

We would have remained ourselves

Without killing our feelings

Slowly

Day by day



One day we could’ve won

Without taking away

Someone else’s pride

We would have become strong

Walking through our life side by side



We could’ve missed another day

Not knowing how to talk

Where to go

We could’ve missed another night

Only... For what?



The dream went away

And you came

With your dark hair loose

Ruthless cold reality

Oh, how I hate your truth

Don’t turn your back this time

Just look at my eyes

I won’t break down

I’m going to fight
