A Lost Soul

By happilydepressed

A voice disembodied familiar yet foreign to my ears speaks
The rest of my sanity, is that what it seeks

Whatever became of your lost soul
Was the journey worth the toll

I remember your face and your voice
I remember you saying there's no choice

All alone in this dark world
All my feelings torn away and into space hurled

I can't forget your smile and your heavy handed affection
I see the old me in my reflection

I feel the joy of yesterday in my mind still
I awake from my slumber for reality's reveal

I'm here and you are gone,lost,maybe even dead
I can't keep my heart from smashing in my head

The sore empty feeling in my guts i can't shake
The days seem longer and everyday it's harder to wake

I can't imagine hell could be much worse
Fetch me a casket, catch me a hearse

Place a stone at the head of my grave
FInd a dark place for our conclave

Then I will haunt you after I've returned as a lost soul
I'll find you and take back the love and life you stole

    Every poem I've read today has hit me like a ton of bricks. It's sad so many feel feelings like that.
