Soul Lost

 

You pass me on the street and our eyes briefly meet.
You hold the door open for me as I enter behind you,
I say thanks, but you have no idea that my mind is blank.
In the elevator you crack a joke, I flash a smile.
You have no idea that my heart is in denial.
You asked me how my day was and I say fine.
You have no idea that my brain and I are arguing if I should cross the line.
Once you lose your soul, there is no turning back.
Everything you once loved no longer has an impact.
People see the smile on your face,
They think you are happy.
But deep down inside you feel like a worthless disgrace.
When you wake up from a night's sleep you wonder if today is the day things that once made you happy to be alive will make a comeback.
You wonder if the little things in life that made you who you are, will once again have you dreaming to the stars.
You wonder if you will feel less empty-hearted.
You wonder who holds that match to start that fire.
You're tired of running and losing your breath,
You want to hold tight to something that will help you enjoy life's journey.
You want to feel that everyday can be better than the last.
You want to turn this
" lost soul " feeling into a thing of the past.
