Abandonment
The feeling of confusion
Being left behind, forever.
Never knowing why, or who you are.
Abandonment
Like a lost puppy, sitting on a church doorstep.
Deserted, forever.
Always feeling rejected, like I did something wrong.
Where are you?
Why-
Why did you leave?
You dropped me; you left me empty.
Abandonment
Feeling unworthy.
Discarded, muddled, disarrayed, perplexed. Forever.
Who am I?
