Desolate and forgotten,I could never be loved.You have etched me as A servant of pity -One to speak to asA passerby, but neverTo be sought.Your light-hearted tones -Condescending in my eyes;Those casual remarks are justA reflection of your apathy.But you will never think less of meThan I already do of myself.This shadow of doubt -I should have chased itAway years ago.Now it consumes me,Ingests me and sucks Me dry, my frightBlood for the parasite.Petrify my face with daylightAnd it will melt from anxiety;Expose me and I amA deer in the headlights.Stagnant night air actsAs my only savior.Distant snickers spike my veins, And my balance is thrown.Drunken with hesitance, my Footing slips as I stumble.Subtle droning grows strongerWith each awkward step I force.The intoxication never ends.Stares of judgement Meet my skin; The jury claims thatThey are undecided.My sole comfort is my belief -You will never know my tears.Dedicated to Rowan to use with posting for her RPG character, Zarianne Devante :) Enjoy it sweetie!
