soul

 
I ache with regret, sin
in the shadows dwell...pain
my heart she hurts
depressed, I write
 
a lonely refrain
in tempo with my melancholy...sorrow
within my grief there is pause
feeling too much or not enough
sadness swells and I withdraw to a place of reflection
 
I'm uncertain about the cause
be it me or my conflict
between self and conscious  
they are so deeply intertwined
the one pricks the other
 
the callous soul never cries
I am no one to deny my tears
cleansing the spirit of ill regards
 
the heart feels
