Why did you have to leave me here alone in this place,
I’m drowning in your absence trying to figure out where I really belong,
Among the leeches and vultures pecking over carrion bones,
While I hide in your shadow as I had all along,
In a desperate attempt at saving a little face,
Instead of being stuck in a repeating tone,
Of missteps and miscues of faltering interactions,
Leaving me naked and alone,
Helpless and scared returning to how I was,
On the day I was born we all struggle to stand,
Pulling and straining to be vertically sound,
Except you won’t be there to offer me a hand.
Juxtaposed To A Fault
