My Soul Will Sleep

A lantern shone itself though the darkness

Lighting a path for the lost wanderers

But not all was truly as it seemed

For there was a deeper darkness nearby

It crept closer and closer

Breaking the barriers in between

Shattering the light into pieces

Destroying what was left

Of a broken soul; dying hope..

Though, on a brand new day

She made her way to me,

As I saw her fractured smile

She said “my heart has broken; it is no more.

I can no longer live. I can no longer breathe.”

And I answered her prayers…

“Here, take my heart…

As long as you live; as long as you breathe…

My soul will sleep, sleep so peacefully."

It sounds like you have a romantic approach to things. :) Great job.

Thanks haha. I'm a romance writer, truly. Like the romance short story I'm working on, "A Love For Winter." I've posted four of the five parts on this site, so far, since i'm still writing it.

Really romantic poem i like it, “Here, take my heart…
As long as you live; as long as you breathe…
My soul will sleep, sleep so peacefully."
That is a beautiful masterpiece.
