All those times I said to you:

I could not find my way

In life, you stared blankly,

With a complacent smile that lasted all day.

You never took me seriously,

You never understood.

I was lost and could not tell

Night from day or bad from good.

I couldn't see the point of life,

I wandered - truly lost.

But you were never there for me,

And you never considered the cost.

I was always lost in life,

And you made sure I was not found.

You never noticed all my pain,

You never made a sound.

I loved you, and I needed you

To help to bring me home.

But you abandoned me, and left me helpless!

You left me all alone.

But I want you to know I've found someone

Who brought me back to life.

I'll abandon you like you abandoned me,

My pain will cut you like a knife.
