Abandoned by Light - Swansong for the Sad

A scar that steals all the light
Words carved into flesh
Sadness that swallows all life
Too few drugs to take all the pain

Beaten and broken from birth
A life cursed from the start
To lie under the shadow of despair
Never to see the light of day

The blade glides through the flesh
A razor guided by misery
Words of hate carved deep
Sorrow bleeds from the wound
Dripping onto the floor

Why is it all filled with sorrow?
This life that you are left with
Isolated from the cheerful
Never to feel in kind

But look into the tunnel
The darkness all around you
There is a light at the end of it
If only you could reach

Raise your crisscrossed arms
To grasp for the hope you seek
Life may yet reward you
For the misery you have received

Rise towards the light
Open your wings to the sun
Rise towards a new life
Leave me here in the dark
Leave for the life you deserve
