Own Your Soul


All the days seem to blur together For once there was a forever. Time ago I saw a new light But then it died one fateful night. I cried and tried to regain my pride But they were silenced by the coming tide. It seems I scream with no one here For no one really seems to hear. My words became a jumbled mess Because I became something less. I let you in to see my soul But all I was doing was digging a hole. Today I tried to talk to you For you were with someone new. All you did was ignore my pain But you didn’t realize I had something to gain. In its purest form revenge is sweet But all you heard were her running feet. You never imagined I would tell But you created my own hell. Today silence is too loud For there is a word I solely vowed. “Truth” is nothing but a lie Until it is spoken and left to fly. You thought you’d broken me for a time But my soul is what is mine. You mistaken the day you decided to take What you thought was meaningless with rape.
