The soul searches for a home,
when its doors lock itself out:
it takes what it has and leaves;
he whispers in her ears
the last of his breath,
but she closes her mind away:
his fingers stretch for words,
but they’re stuck in a past mind.
his screams sound by night,
as the lies give him reason to live:
she holds him close, crying,
telling him not to leave;
minutes and days pass away,
he doesn’t notice the changing seasons:
dead from the inside, he looks out
through the glass windows
of his eyes, wondering
what life would have been like.

Love this-
"he whispers in her ears
the last of his breath,"
"his fingers stretch for words,
but they’re stuck in a past mind."
A lost soul searching for life. I would love to reach out and help that poor soul....
