Soul's Whisper

Now when no one can hear my cries

Down here where my cold-blooded body lies

I didn't die because I was bleeding

I died because my life was misleading

I fell for a soul that was never mine

After many attempts, this was nine

A crime I committed, I knew this was wrong

No fork in the road, no lifeline to hold,

What choice did I have but to take the life that I own

My hands will not plead for mercy

For which no one has to show any leniency

The glaze on my face now seems to dry

No one except my family seems to be crying

The image of her still in my mind, my eyes see no one but only her 

My soul floats above my lifeless corpse, ready to soar above the clouds, yet I hold on because of her

"I still love you" whispered the soul in her ear

It's me, the one whose emotions you disregarded, why do you now fear

I've always covered your life like a warm quilt

She still joined the funeral procession to rid herself of the guilt

Deep down she feels her mistake

Reminiscing about their first date

Her tears flow with the thoughts of his warm touch

How could she throw away the person whose smile she loved so much 

My heart beats no more, no melodious chimes

You will always have a place as I too reminisce of happier times
