The Void
The Fractured Soul
The Fractured Soul
A childhood twisted, a young boy torn,
a future unwritten from the moment he was
born.
Cast out, skimming through life, like
pebbles across a still lake.
Dreaming, whilst still awake.
Parted from guardians, turned away
tortured and twisted inside.
No doors opened, no shelter, nowhere
to hide.
External family spurned, doors closed,
anger and frustration. The hurt and
humiliation; they will never know the
extent of the fractured soul.
The distain on your bitter face,
wrinkled from age. You showed your
back to me. The door slammed, I voiced
my disgrace.
No blood ties to you, no features, to
easy. You dropped me like a hot stone.
Abandoned me. I had to find my own way.
I was alone.
This bond was broken, all that is left
is a bitter taste in my mouth.
The rage inside, left me speechless;
and since then, many words have been
left unspoken.
You were oblivious to the effect
you had. I had a long journey,
down the road of misery, that had
just begun. No tear stained apologies
would fix damage already done.
(I shouted through a hole in wood -
'what did I do') ?
Cut me deep and broke my heart.
Now the shoe's on the other foot,
tell me, how does it feel, to have
your world completely torn apart.
I see you, and there is nothing at
all. Gazing through dull soulless eyes.
The man you once was; a blank vacant
void, no longer strong or wise.
I never knew where I belonged, felt
like there were gaps in my life.
I hadn't found, until now.
I was set free by your harsh tongue
and I found my own way. With no
regrets, no turning back, as I live
for now.
The fractured soul, is now binded together.
From life's journey.
As time passes, my mind becomes even
freer of memories of you. As they fade
away.
