Poetry / My Soul Bleeds
Who ever thought a soul could bleed?
But your words cut me so deep.
Abandon what follows me
The rest is behind you.
My soul bleeds.
You came to me armed with a sharpened tongue.
Equipped to speak death to my life.
Ignoring my flesh with the knife,
Carving up my insides.
Outside I looked fine.
It was the inside that was buried.
I buried your words deep inside the soul you killed.
They shared a casket with my heart.
I loved you, but I guess I couldn’t show it clear enough.
The moment you found someone who could,
You put me face down in the dirt.
Clawing at the ground with both hands,
Hoping you’d come back.
But the leaves arrived as summer died,
And I realized you’d never change your mind.
The seasons and the trees were the only thing changing between us.
On the ground I remained, thinking I’d always be this way
You’re gone like the memories of me.
I was still hoping I’d find my way through your mind again.
But to you, I never existed. I’ve been forgotten.
You’ve found your happiness in someone else,
The smiles I gave you have blown away.
With the breeze that brought the leaves of fall.
But I know True Love is still waiting.
Wondering why I gave her up in the first place.
So I’ll stay on my knees with my arms open wide, and my eyes to the sky,
Waiting for that breeze to return and take the rain from my eyes,
And bring me summer, back to life.

Wow. This is so very moving. It’s great to see that you haven’t given up on love. It’s a matter of time and personal preference. I’m definetly able to relate to it. No worries, the breeze will come again.
the consistent rhyme in the first stanza causes it to have its own flow and melody. comparing lost love to changing seasons is always heart-warming for me. you have brought new meaning to a reoccuring topic.
