Abandonment Poem by Adrian Shorey

Abandonment

Rating: 5.0


Some people say 'Things will get better! ',
As far as I'm concerned my eyes will just get wetter,
The tears that fall are often mis-shed,
At least that's what I think when I lie my head...
Others say 'Life's good, don't be a bust',
But when you're betrayed so often that it's hard to trust...
There's not often something to help the lust...
That I have to be important in this world when I'm less than dust...
No matter what people say trying to convince me,
In my own life that I'm 'The Key',
I respond with 'Then I'm the key without a lock,
Because no matter what I'm behind the 'flock' '...
Every time I find someone important, to an extent,
I know I'm always gunna' end up with abandonment...
