Lost Soul

Heart like stone Skin like ice Eyes deep as a cave Hair that flows like a wave You seem so empty You are here in body But not in soul I want to wake up your passion I want to get you out of your shell Bring you out of this hell You can be so much more Yet you move in place And talk empty words Inside you are dead And this I dread I enjoy seeing you alive inside and out On the out you can smile But I know inside you pout You think your life is meaningless I want to show you that you are wrong And that I was here for you all along Please wake up your feelings You are lost without them I know he broke your heart And you think you can never heal But I want to show you that you are mistaken And I want you to find What you lost long ago And never let it go He took what was part of you that day He had your heart But he destroyed all your hopes and dreams And now you think nothing is what it seems I want you to come back You are so lost I want to help But you won't open up You locked up your heart in a box and threw away the key I want to find this key and set you free Can you do all this for me? With all that I have I want to give to you So please open up And speak to me with words Words that come from the heart And never will I tear you apart I want to feel the warmth of your skin I want you to be alive again Your eyes are empty And from that moment it has hit me I am the only one that can rekindle your flame And make you feel the same I will not hurt you like he So please set yourself free I want you to live and be Who you once were Always with a smile on your face Moving from place to place I can pull you out Of this hole he trapped you in I will help you out and you can walk again Be a lover and a friend And forever be free Just you and me But you are stuck And you can not see What all can happen Between you and me (On my myspace also) Copyright 2009 All rights reserved -Matthan C.

People do need time to grieve after a heartbreak, Matthan, but it is kind and wise of you to offer support. If you are gentle as you seem to be in your writing, your approach to this woman may succeed! Welcome to Poetry Soup! Very uplifting write. Best Wishes, Carolyn
