Analysis of The man created from sand

Reign 2004 (New york)



The Pearl necklace you gifted me has now become a noose around my neck

The jewels you adorned me with have covered the scars you inflicted upon me

Sustenance you filled my belly with yet you starved my soul

Your deprivation of love has left my heart hollow

I now reflect the emptiness in your gaze

Once I shined so bright like fiery coals but you doused me with your scathing resentment

You slaughtered all that is pure and to those who try

Now I am a shell of who I once was

Cast aside on the sandy beach occasionally washed away by the waves

Until I become stepped on and splintered shattered beyond repair

until I slowly deteriorate into the sand that was used to create mankind
