A Soulless Soul

I look into your deep soulless brown eyes,

and think to myself

I think about how I continued giving you pieces of myself

Even though i was hollow & empty inside;

Empty inside because of you

I tried to help you because I saw you hurting,

but i had nothing left to give.....

I was a flower starting to grow

and instead of continuing to grow with me

You stripped me from my roots,

plucked my petals

Then threw me away because I was nothing more than a dead weed in your eyes

And every time you saw me grow back into a beautiful rose

you would come back to crush me down with fear,

and I would wither all over again

I tried to hold and listen to you

To better understand your soul

but every time i tried

Your demons would show

And when that happened

I would die a little more inside
