When the World Forgets (Free verse) by TLRufener
The world closes its eyes
When the sun goes down
The candles begin to sparkle
And the moon starts to shine
Lost and defenseless
I roam alone and scared
When the world forgets
I become dust in the wind
Eyes tightly closed
I am swept under the rug
But theyâll never miss me
Because I am nothing
The frozen cold breeze
Leads me as a forgotten child
When the world forgets
I am cast off the road
To make room
Everyone pushes past
And throws me aside for themselves
When I am locked away and hidden
They steal my soul
When the world forgets
I become a shadow chased by the sun
All I know and can live
Is darkness
Evil thrives in my vacant shell
As I commit crimes
My self-control fades
Just as my shadow
And I crave every essence of hell
When the world forgets
Innocence disappears
Each time the sun
Erases the stars
