Death of a Soul

A sad poem.

Death of a Soul

I wake up alone and lost

An empty shell, a soul with frost

Apathy lears through distant lips

Though anger flows through in clips

 

Tainted thoughts that cloud my mind

Within a spirit so unkind

I walk down streets of unknown pain

Waiting for my own to wane

 

Listless movement, tired eyes

Telling all those little lies

Where have I gone?  What am I now?

This is more than I allowed

 

Unable to eat, unable to sleep

I miss the heart I used to keep

Disturbed and mad, I want release

I want my horrors all to cease

 

Where will I go?  What will I be?

Have I lost what's left of me?

A husk that wanders without aim

For all I am has been claimed

 

I've broken what I cannot fix

My walls are built with solid bricks

Mistakes are made day by day

What mistake will I make today?

 

I miss all that I used to be

I fear that it is now a memory

Abuse me, use me, waste away

Wishing things would change today

 

I've done it now, I've gone mad

My spirit's black, it has gone bad

Nothing more of me to see

Watch me die, watch me bleed

 

Take me out and burn what remains

Erase the memories, wash out the stains

The pain has won and I'm no more

So now, at last, I close the door

Very good use of words.
"I've done it now, I've gone mad
My spirit's black, it has gone bad
Nothing more of me to see
Watch me die, watch me bleed"
The flow of thoughts made the reader feel the struggle and the pain. I liked the complete poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I like your rhyming pattern and how you use it to get across the feeling of the poem. I really liked it

I enjoy this a lot. It has a certain rhythm that matches with the rhymes and it's a very great set up.

This is amazing. I have an obsession with poems based on death. But this is just beautiful. It is beautiful in every possible way and I love. It is amazing. :)
