The Soul Owner's Plight

The Soul Owner's Plight

Don't lose sight
Lost as you may be,
The soul owner's plight.
Be wary, or just wait and see.

Ignore your thoughts,
For they seek to mislead.
Losing now what you have not sought,
Now your soul will bleed.

Sewn together with patches,
Gone now, your past it pained.
Torn by your own scratches
Pieces of your soul, now maddened

Broken now that promise,
So fragile that glass, that won't last.
You betrayed her, remember?
See, why now do you see?

You see, only in darkness
Are your eyes truly open.
Oh, you forgot her loveliness.
Lost now, that glass is broken.

Given the chance
You would do it again.
Lost in your circumstance,
You would do it again

You have lost sight,
Blind now you see yourself.
You have lost sight,
The soul owner's plight.

    This reads like a children's book. In the good way. A broken person conveying a message in simple terms.

    This is really unique. I like the concept, and the rhythm still flowed smoothly, even though every line didn't rhyme. I love the repetition, especially with the imagery of broken glass. It makes me think that the speaker is obsessed about something he can't change. Nice work!

      Excellent you see it! Isn't there that thing in all of us we hopelessly try and change? At least that is the question I try and pose. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate you taking the time to read it and post your thoughts.
