Dear Soul,

A poem I wrote going through something heartbreaking.

Dear Soul,
What are you doing today?
Do you talk with other souls
to hear what they say?
Do the voices keep in touch?
Or do you not
think of them much?
Does my heart even remember you?
How has it been
with you days anew?
Can you even see
through the windows called my eyes?
Have they become foggy
or has the sill filled with dead flies?
Dear Soul,
Sometimes I wonder where you went,
where you are right now,
or where you days are spent.
Are you even the same place I put you?
Or have you caught me
completely out of the blue?
Please be safe,
wherever you are.
As this lonely fire
turns my thoughts to char.
Dear Soul,
The voices are angry.
My heart doesn't beat.
I can't even feel the toes on my feet.
Your windows have tarnished.
My mind's gone too,
But I know it is thinking
Mostly of you.
I miss you often
as the room, house, and world
Slowly start to soften.
The birds do not sing.
But if they are,
their song has no feeling.
Dear Soul,
The sun has just set.
The nights are cold,
and my ends are met.
Come home soon,
For I cannot enjoy
the light of the moon.
The suns seems to
have left as well,
But if it hasn't
I cannot feel where the light fell.
The wind keeps blowing
Strangely, right through me
But it knows not of me
and keeps flowing.
Dear Soul,
I feel empty and cold.
You don't remember
how you were so bold.
Don't bother coming back.
I have hit the cold floor
with a dull smack.
I believe you have lied
And this last sigh
Has just been sighed.
But do not forget
what I have said.
But remember
when you come home.
I am already dead.
Dear Soul.........

The struggle to understand the soul. One of hardest to grasp. I believe some people don't have a soul. They gave it away to be protected. I like the flow of thoughts and the journey you took me with your words. A sad ending to a excellent poem.

Thank you. It was a difficult time when I wrote this. I wanted to go through the process of heartbreak and how someone would feel on the inside with a more visual understanding. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
