Deprivation
by
Thomas Leatherbarrow
If you’d have said that I need to be deprived
I would have wondered how the fuck id survive
I could not go back to how I was
And that’s simply just because
I was stuck in a hole
My life was pointless
Without a goal
But then for a while all I saw was you
And how you’d changed my points of view
I could not have been deprived, I thought
Or else I‘d die, truly distraught
But now I have and its not so hard
But the thought of you wont make it smart
So when I’m alone and when all is said
Ill just picture you in my head
So have I really turned a corner
Can I really go on without her
The thing that might have become my salvation
Is my complete and utter deprivation
