Broken Soul

Free and understanding,

I opened up my heart for you.

The tenderness that

I have hidden so well

Has melted away

For the comfort of your being.

This feeling, this joy

That I allowed myself to indulge

Was all that was felt

In this moment, in this timestill.

The moment in which

My soul touched yours

And became emotionally immortal.

Emotion.

The emotion that I could only feel

When I am with you

Could only bring me

Peace, beauty, heart, soul, happiness.

Though this feeling of divinity

I so foolishly perceived as eternal

Was washed away slowly

Over the days, months, years

I thought it would live.

And now lay what is left of me…

My broken soul.
