Feeding

02 Oct Feeding

I heed when they ignored

Offered a hand when no one would lift a finger

Listened when not one of them would hear

Reached out when no one else will

I stayed when all walked out

Gave where everyone took

Fed a a heart starved

Breathed life on a soul beaten

Put back the broken shards

At the cost of blood

Now you’re whole

I’m left bleeding

In silence I pick up the broken pieces

Sullen, drained and used

Price I paid so you may rise

Off to the place where the waves are high

With every tide you ride

Remember the drive that lifted you up

for it will be the same current that pulls you down
