Robbed For A Soul  

I stand amid a wasteland
Of lost misguided hearts
I choke on dust and rubble
While their claws cleanly tear me apart
Stripped are my desires
Taken are my needs
The lonely misguided hearts reach in
Sow their grains of greed
Taken slowly to their clutches
Cradled by arms reached out
One by one their voices croon
Watering my seeds of doubt
The vast expanse rolls to the sky
In every way I see
I can’t run as I wither away
I’m nestled cozy by misery
Deep inside the ache has dulled
Numbed I cease to feel
Naked of emotion I give in to them
My soul I let them steel
