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 they’ll 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
