What The Soul Demands
She thinks of him with sad eyes
Filled with the tears that will fall in just a few moments
Knowing that she will break his heart
And not knowing why she must
Only that she must
The feeling has been inside her for months
That there was something wrong
And she must be the one to fix it
There is no other waiting to take his place As he will no doubt think and accuse She will simply walk away with her clothes
Climb onto the train
And find a new city to live in
Even she can’t begin to tell herself why
But she knows that it must be done
If he cries she will weep with him
And if he strikes her she believes
That she would allow even that
Though she knows that he will not
Because he is not a man like that
And when It has all been said and done
She will leave him with kiss if he will have it
And with silence if he will not speak
And with her bag in her hand
She will go
Some things must just be done
Some changes will happen without reason
Some loves will be lost
And some hearts broken
Only because the soul demands it
Note:
I didn't write this with those lines offset but it refuses to be fixed. When I try to do so it simply reverts to this fucked up form when I apply the repairs.
