Tracks Of My Tears 

 

 

Abandoned, with no where to go
I stand here stationless
Forlorn
Where is my home?

 

Loyalty, means nothing to you 
I carried you for over a century
Now stranded
Feeling a fool

 

Worthlessness, you made me feel 
No longer needed 
Selfish you
With a better deal?

 

Divided, between city and shore
That’s what you said
Greener pastures
You supposedly adore

 

Regret, one day it shall be clear 
Until then, I ponder in hope 
Alone 
With the tracks of my tears
