Abandoned

Back to the Courtyard

The song playing is Against All Odds by Mariah Carey.

I feel like I do not belong in this world.
I really don't think that I belong anywhere.
I was abandoned at birth, abandoned every day of my life.
I am alone, cold, and hungry for love.
But, there is no such thing as love in this place.
Here all there is...is lies...deceit...empty words.
There is no deep and true meaning anymore.
It has been replaced by those who can not ever know what love is.
Every day of my life I have been lied to.
Guys say they care, but it is just a masquarade.
Evil thoughts lie behind the mask.  Empty words and promises.
I once thought that a man could love me.
Could see me as a person, a soul, a human being.
But behind the masked promises and actions
a serpent lay in wait for his next victim.
He would say I alone he did love
but to another he did turn as my back was facing him.
No, there is no love in this world.
Nothing true, nothing real, nothing sacred.
I am left here, abandoned save thoughts and feelings.
Here in this empty wasteland of life,
I alone can feel love.
No one else can.
No one else will try.
