Poetry And Power
"Abandon Me"
By Mason Haven

(This is one of many songs of mine inspired by none other than Gary!)

The trust within me isn't pure
Opinions rot away like life
When I feel alone to cure
I watch and fold just like my life

And there's no point in finding love
All the love just fades away
There's no reason to believe
That there's a line between love and hate

Why do they all turn away and leave me here just like a fallen angel
I cannot pray here anymore
These hymns and prophecies are bores
I do not wish to dream again
I only wish this was the end

Set it free, abandon me. Set if free, abandon me
I'm a faded picture dying slow
In an apocalyptic afterglow
I'm something like a new disease
Begging for a love to believe

I am strung to feel the pain
I am weak I'm so deranged
I feel the word is so naive
Pray the end will not deceive

And I can't trust them anymore
Trust is self inflicted war
I cannot win this quest for love
There's no line from hate to love

Why don't the answers come clear when they're spoken in fear within the sacred
I do not wish to saev my soul
These printed words have grown too old
A spiritual way to live
Let them die and don't forgive

Condemned me, abandoned me. Condemned me, abandon me
I was a secret to hide from lies
Now I see a gap within the skies
I remember when I said "Pray For Me"
No one cares they've abandoned me.
