Who is Lyahus?

Lyahus Riman April 22, 2000

Tags: Hope

I am jilted, tainted, much abused



I was an ambition

I was an aspiration

I was every hope and desire

that hits you in the bright of day

scares you in the dead of night

No longer ...

I am the innocence

no longer to be found

I am the sorrow

you always try to drown

I am not what I used to
be

I am a husk,

I'm an empty shell

I am a shadow

standing upright, not seen on the floor

I'm no longer the man

those around me knew

I am jilted, tainted, much abused

I have suffered long

I still don't know what would've been

What is though, I do know
