Expired

<>by: tinny tulle

Staring at me with overcast eyes
I feel your pain striking through me
You stand in the row just like the rest of them
With that badge on your arm that tells you
You belong <>

The men around you stand lost and forlorn
Craving for forgiveness from the lives they lived before
Longing for someone to care about them
No matter the crimes they committed
Someone to stand by their side
From the families they were ripped apart from <>

The chamber that holds you is now starting to fill
Dropping to your knees <>
You drift to another place
I watch in silence
There is nothing I can do for you
You haven’t already tried
