Twisted, tortued soul,
Drowning in doubt,
Shaking in fear,
Cannot see a way out.

Symbolic pain an everyday occurance,
A slashed heart takes time to mend,
A wounded soul lost to me,
All I see a dismal end.

An end to the inner beauty,
An end to smiles and laughter,
Is there truth in the ancient words,
Happy Ever After?

I doubt it so,
And that scares me,
Without enough love in my soul,
I shall cease to be.

I shall wither away,
My soul quietly dying,
And no one will know,
They won't hear it's sighing.

Mummified and illegitmate,
These feelings I have,
Plague ridden soul,
Just wants to love again

Isis--
I especially liked the following stanza:
"I shall wither away,
My soul quietly dying,
And no one will know,
They won't hear it's sighing."

Keep it up!!! do you need to talk about something?? your poems have had a darkish tone to them...if you need to talk please feel free to write k???

"If you love something let it go...if it comes back to you it is yours...if it doesnt then it never was"

I believe those ancient words came from Grimm's Fairy Tales .
You BTW could never cease to be

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
