I Can'T Destroy What Isn'T There

I offered you my soul 
with every sacrifice you take another bit
I cannot lose this last control
you always want what I can't give

Silence opresses my chest and yet
I cannot seem to let you go
Tears lean out through my soul's pits and bet
your cries hide in my voice

As time goes by the lights fade out
while you slowly lose the wish to know
and I burn in it,this angry fight
in which you just refused to follow

And when you laugh it's shattered glass
so much for love, here comes the hatred
I hope you too are being harassed 
by all the scary monsters jaded

Everything's weak, and false and lost
except your lips, they're right, a cross
to bare, a poison -deadly, the wanted cost
of your kiss is the bridge across
I can't keep trying, we are ghosts

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Radoslava, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
