Vacant Soul

Vacant Soul

A Poem by Autumn L. Eaves

I could see it in your eyes,

The disappointment shining through.

What I did

had nothing to do with you.

 

It was my decision,

my choice.

You had no control over anything;

you had no voice.

 

You told me not to do it,

But I couldn’t follow through.

My heart was heavy in my chest

It was all just too good to be true.

 

My wrists were bandaged,

but you didn’t help.

You abandoned me,

My last hope.

 

I thought we were friends,

Maybe more, maybe less.

You chose the latter,

And now I’m left to guess.

 

I have no self-control.

I am nothing.

I was just left as another

vacant soul.
