Soulbreak

Deep, deep, down in the midst of emotions
A binding of heart and spirit occurs without erosion
A bond of which very few truly feel the meaning
And most may pass away without ever believing

Stronger than death, stronger than chains
The effect forever lasting, unremovable stains
The feeling in the bones, that a part of you goes on
A never ending circle, where your love belongs

One day, an interruption may occur
Shaking the very foundation of your being, deter
Separate you from the one your being connected with
Leaving you broken more than any tectonic shift

Your days will be filled with tears and unremovable misery
There is no cure that any doctors can prescribe, legally
You know from dusk till dusk, it was just suppose to be "you and me"
You will NEVER find an acceptable answer, to this killing mystery

This is no heartbreak, it's a soulbreak to the core
A dull blade to the ties that bound, your spirit cries silently, begging for no more
It feels like a punishment handed down from God Himself
Leaving you whimpering on your knees, believing this is hell

Forever, forever is ringing through your corrupted mind
And you know the damage dealt will never heal in time
When you've seen enough life that you comprehend the rarity of this discovery
And you've known all along, you were attached to a love for eternity

Some may go on, to lead successful lives alone
While others of us lay there, constantly wanting their headstone
It doesn't matter to us the cause of being deceased
"DIED OF SOULBREAK" we want the grave to read at least

Profoundly moving, I have a friend who knows this soul break, when her soulmate died. To have the experience while your soulmate is still out there living must be far worse. My heart grieves for you. The sadness- no agony- is palpable and real. Love does go on, rights all things after dying, I believe. But living with soul break certainly must be hell. I can not imagine, having not been there myself.you communicate the deep pain well, and with honesty. I have often wondered if there are more soul mates than we know- is there another out there for you? You would answer no, I think, but I still wonder. Beautiful and heart--rending writing.

Thank you Marianne, very much for your review, I always enjoy hearing your thoughts. Your question is most relevant, about is there another, and one a majority would/do ask, and yes, your assumption of how I respond is dead on :) BUT, let me say this, Kathy came in to my life unexpectedly, out of the blue, and it was the first time in my then 29 years where I understood and believed in love at first site....if there is another, then I imagine it has to happen the same way, I will not look for it, I will not expect it, and I don't even want it, but just like with her, it would not be something within my control, if it's there, my heart will follow it, the rest of my mind and body will have no say in the matter...as I feel it has no say in what I am currently experiencing and expect to experience till one of two (three if you count finding someone else, which I currently do not!) things happens...a reconciliation, or burial. As always, I feel unworthy of your reviews (not by anything you have ever said, but just knowing how talented you are!), but more than grateful none the less.

I do love that you are open, but not anticipating or hoping for it. It is so beyond our control in the beginning, and then, as human beings, we get into trying to control things too much. The heart is never unworthy of being heard. I'm grateful that you are able to share this with us. And I do hope for you that moment of realization, if it happens, that you are looking into the eyes of your beloved, either again, or anew. Blessings,
Marianne

Frighteningly accurate and very well written with a great flow.

"This is no heartbreak, it's a soulbreak to the core
A dull blade to the ties that bound, your spirit cries silently, begging for no more
It feels like a punishment handed down from God Himself
Leaving you whimpering on your knees, believing this is hell"

That stanza stood out the most based on how real it feels. Very well written piece that touched me and hit such deep emotions... Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Thank you very much for the review Broken Soul, I know it's not a poem everyone can relate too, and it hurts to know that some people can, but at the same time, it always makes me feel a little less lonely in this world knowing I'm not the only one that feels so deeply. I greatly appreciate your review, especially pointing out which lines hit you the most personally.

I completely understand and relate to everything you just said. I couldn't have said it any better myself. I feel deeply and felt this piece deeply, and I also have the similar reaction in feeling less lonely whenever someone has a similar reaction to something I wrote that they can relate to. You don't wish it upon anyone, yet you know only those whom have truly felt it that can relate like no other. You're very welcome for the review. Thank you once again for sharing.
