Murder of the Soul

poemsbyliz

Her face is sunken in.

Her eyes are shadows.

Her mouth is a sealed tomb.

Her skin looks beaten to a sickly color.

 

She just lays there dead

almost.

 

A tear streams down her cheekbone.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

No, she’s obviously not.

She nods her head.

Why would she do that?

 

He continues,

killing her soul

softly.

  • Comment from author about the poem: An unfortunate series of events that I've been through. A toxic relationship that I enabled for so long, but I'd never enable again. Things do get better and you can survive. Its not your fault.

    'Killing me softly with his song'....
    Nicely written, Liz, with a lot of emotion between the lines.
