The Death

My soul died with him that day

I wish my body had gone with it

I can’t feel the noose

But it’s harder to breathe every day

The world is a lonely place,

When your body bears no scars

But you’re dead on the inside

To walk through the day and make eye contact

And no other soul knows your missing

Can you imagine being lost

Lost in the land of the living

Wandering aimlessly

In search of a soul that is no more

Desperate for peace that isn’t real

Destroying relationships one by one

Because the shell of your body can’t comprehend

The reality that the world has shed light on

To fade to black would be best
