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.
