That was me


That was me

You stomped on me

That was me

You ridiculed me

That was me

Saw nothing to love

That was me

Nothing to appreciate

That was me

Your ravaged self-calls out

Depleted and famished by the blows of life

Your weary self seeks me out

Ravaged and gnawed at by the jaws of karma

Your lost soul seeks me

Sucked dry by your vices

That was me

When I called out and you were oblivious

That was me

When I sought you out and you turned your back

That was me

Your scrawny being at my feet

The world stoning you

Like Magdalene I help you up

The ravaged being in the mirror looking back at you

Lost in the wilderness of vain dreams

Cursed by the womb that birthed you

That was me

Picking up the pieces of the life you had

That was me

Piecing together what you never shared with me

That was me
