Bare



You left me like a tree
Stripped bare in Autumn
Nude to the world
With just my body
To face the eyes
Of all who look
Or stare
With your lies
No disguise
Of your hate for me
You say you loved me
But you could never have
To have done such a thing
You drown me in such sorrow
Because my heart towards you
Was full
Of things like hope, faith and mercy
Filled with love and dreams of
Tomorrow
But now
There is nothing
No hope inside
Farewell to my dreams
I’ll sleep until I desire
To finally wake
And that isn’t happening
Until the steps I cannot
I have the strength to take
