Dying Soul
Oh, glass soul,
Reflecting only what I want to see.
Contorting into only what I want to be.
Everlasting soul,
Ridden by expectations,
Twisting as a sick, guided tree,
Never to be free.
Oh, frightened soul,
Please don’t hate me.
I can’t look towards eternity,
I’m drowning,
But I’m still singing–
Can you hear my song?
The bubbles of music,
Notes that were deceivingly wrong.
I hear the cracks ringing,
You’re looking around silently–
You knew all along.
Oh burdened soul–
Can I be rescued?
The glass is breaking–
Where are you going?
Oh lost soul,
It’s dark without you,
It’s been a while since you’ve gone–
I stopped breathing too.
That perfect reflection was too good to be true.
Oh glorified soul,
That fell apart,
Did I take your heart?
The cracks on your skin are red,
Oh forgotten soul–
What did I do?
Your eyes don’t move–
The world looks dead.
Why are we still?
Oh saddened soul–
Why do you cry on that hill?
Why are you so far–
I feel empty and cold,
The coffin is ajar–
My eyes search yours,
But you are no longer bold.
Oh empty soul,
Why do you fade?
The rain pours–
I dream in darkness–
I fear the lonesome,
Oh miserable soul,
Why–
Oh missing soul,
How–
Oh soul.
Where am I?
