One Soul
I’m just one soul.
Wandering alone
Through the fabric of space and time.
Searching once again for another
I’m scared, but determined,
To find someone.
Lost and trying so desperately
Not to fail this time.
I want
Things like affection, friendship, and love.
Things I might never have again,
I’ve lost so many
My wounds are deeper than scars
Woven into who I am
My soul is broken beyond repair.
I loved once, but now
Emotions seem pointless because
You can’t mend a damaged soul.
Caring is not an advantage.
In this messed up world,
In this judgemental society, where
No one is safe
I’m unloved, and unwanted.
I need you because
I’m just one soul.
Don’t leave me.
