Forsaken Souls

Look into my heart &
define my destiny
Look around &
define the jealousy
Backstabbers everywhere
(including me)
always forgiven, but
never forgotten
I wonder how the
lost souls can survive
still being rotten


Look into my heart &
define my future
Look around &
define the torture
devils victorious screaming
(for the war, for sure)
Always forsaken but
never heartaching
at least in their eyes
already they know they
have won the war
because all the souls
have already been taken
