Pariah

When the pain dulls
I will become bitter
Welcomed and cradled
As darkness settles
More and more do I see
To most everyone
How love means nothing
Carelessly handled
Such a delicate emotion
Fading it is time
These days have wrought endless pain
Beckoning to end
Walking on the edge of the knife
So sharp and quick are words
Just words
Twisted to fit ones needs
Words never spoken or thought
Words....scripted
Where feeling such, have no more meaning
Thrown away to the wolves
That vicious pack!
Drooling with hunger
Waiting in the shadows to devour
