Souled What Was Already MineA Poem by mcg03002A poemYou drew me in with answers I had sought. ”Love me,” you said, “and I will make you whole.” Through sacrifice of self your truth I bought; As recompense you offered me my soul. I emptied out my mind to make some room; Ideals once valued boxed up on a whim; Like creeping bougainvillea, quick to bloom; Lies blossomed bright while strangled truth grew dim. Afraid to show my face instead of yours; I chomped the bit and let you take the reins; You placed me in a boat and took the oars; And dashed on jagged rocks left my remains.
Forlorn and lost I grasped an outstretched hand. The soul you'd claimed was yours helped me to stand. © 2010 mcg03002Author's Note
