Tired Soul -

by Everlasting   Jan 28, 2014


Do you see
this soft skin?
Peel it, scrape it out
from flesh,
and take it.

Just take it.
That's all,
you'll ever have.

Not my love, but
my life.

    Wow, that is a dark and powerful message... I just felt my skin tingle at the thought..

    Beautifully written. So elegantly put.

    This is so vivid in the point not necessarily in detail. It says so very much and it broke my heart to read. However, it was well stated and extremely understandable. Great job.

    Not sure what I could say about this. It projects such an air of finality in that you have taken all there is of me but my love and now all that is left is my life, so take it too. You didn't use many words, not any "big" words but the words you did use pack a wallop and give the reader a punch in the gut. Good job.

    One who has given herself all to love and from the message I'm getting been betrayed, starts to fade and that person can do whatever he/she wants; but the truth is love will never go back to that person again...a strong message yet touching...take care.
