RECYCLED SOUL
I'm not angry at God
but every time I get stabbed in my heart
by reality and the hand of God's merciless game
I have to question the cause-
Strike quickly and fiercely without pause
and shred my soul apart once again
I'll just throw it back into the compost heap
so that eventually something pretty might grow
from down below
maybe new food for A new soul to reap and eat
before facing defeat and repeating
the endless cycle.....

There's a sense of the wheel of samsara here archetype23 but I'm going to go for heartache and relationships as the angle and because of that I'm reminded of Khalil Gibran's The Prophet and his words on love...here's an excerpt but the section on love needs to be read in its entirety...
'when love beckons to you, follow him though his ways are hard and steep and when his wings enfold you yield to him though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you and when he speaks to you believe in him though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden...'
Also can I suggest you delete the word 'that' in the second line for better flow...I enjoyed the read...
