Tales From A Life Best Forgotten

Before You Came

She walks along the railroad track
Bedraggled being old and drawn
Dead of night skin cold as death
Bare foot beauty weary worn

Heavy heart devoid of love
Wanting feeling lonely angel
Touch of man to warm her blood

 Endless nights she wanders waiting
Head hung low in fear and shame
Needing knowing tears unending
Taunting spirits call her name.

All to soon the moonlight fading
Wretched beauty turns to dust
Returning once the day has ended
Haunting souls born of mistrust.
