The Place Where I Belong


I was meant to be here

withering in the fear of your absence

and I wonder sometimes why

the thought of you leaves scattered lashes

on my hands and knees.


I'm helpless and that's how it was supposed to be

it's sad but I guess God has other plans for me

I really wish he hadn't chosen this fate for me,

but I can only wish and keep wishing in vain.


Sometimes I wonder if the loving river

will take me away

like it does to leaves and other

insignificant things.


Oh, save me from this hateful waste

of living trash that I've become.

Pick me up and place me properly

in the tomb of the living dead.
