Soul

by Janice - Sagittarius

You walk with me
every step, every turn
Your with me
Part of me
You are my soul

With every twist
turn, corner, road
You follow
You lead

Yet somewhere, somehow
Some dark alley 
We've turned down
You've disappeared

I walk alone
hollow, empty
Not finding the light
At the end of the alley

You left me
Behind, ahead
I do not know

Alone, confused
Struggling to survive 
Yet not wanting to

Not wanting to fight 
Each day
Search each alley
Suffer each wound

Yet I do
And why?

Why live when
death is easier
No pain, no memory
No war to win
No struggle with 
the thoughts that
consume my mind
Driving, squeezing
sucking each breath
Taking it
To fuel the fire
The hatred
For who?
Myself?

I don't know
