Derelict

** Image ID #1544389 Unavailable **

There you lie neglected and abandoned,
Craving for someone's love and affection.
You earnestly want a respite from the,
Pain and sorrow smoldering inside you.

Craving for someone's love and affection,
Waiting to be lavished by someone's care,
Desiring the gentle touch of some hand,
The hand that will embrace you as its own.

You earnestly want a respite from the,
Agony clawing at your battered soul.
Your dried flowers ache to blossom afresh.
Like a Phoenix they wish to rise again.

Pain and sorrow smoldering inside you,
Make you cry and vent your emotions.
In deep distress tears roll down from your holes,
The wounds inflicted on your tender heart.
