Array ( [sid] => 50358 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Lost Soul [time] => 2004-06-04 06:44:40 [hometext] => For those who have felt love unreturned... [bodytext] => Sometimes at night I lie awake
And wonder how much more my soul can take
Emotions that just can’t say goodbye
Each night I still let lose and cry
With time your mind might understand
That the love of your life has found a man
But your mind and your soul are two different things
Your mind may cope, but your soul spreads wings

The mind moves on, but a soul will fly
It’s for this innocent soul each night you cry
Yet on it soars from door to door
In search of a love, it will never ignore
‘Cause there’s only one thing a soul can’t learn
That the love it yearns, won’t be returned

And when your love for one’s so very strong
You heart will swear, your mind must be wrong!
Surely this is a dreadful mistake
Your heart it seems just will not break
It won’t slow down until it’s crowned
Next to the one, that may never be found
So on it searches from door to door
For this love that drives, it can’t ignore

And the day will come when your heart and soul
Meet together, to pay their toll
They seemed to think there would always be more
But now it seems they’ve reached the last door
The sweetest key of love together they hold
But the lock of this door, is not the same mold
It doesn’t matter how hard they try
This door they’ve found won’t ever pry

It’s then that your heart will break down and weep
For this unanswered love, it must always keep
Finally it has seen what no soul can learn
That the love it gave, won’t be returned

And if you’re strong your heart may mend
Yet for this soul, there can be no end
So on it soars everywhere it can
For a love that’s given to another man
‘Cause there’s only one thing a soul can’t learn
That the love it feels, won’t be returned

Late in my life when God calls my name
It’s then I must try to hide my shame
For when I stand at heaven’s gate
I know my soul will show up late
‘Cause where else could it possibly be
Than pounding on that door
Searching for the love it can never ignore [comments] => 9 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 22 [informant] => MilitaryPrince [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
The Lost Soul

Topic: LostLove



Sometimes at night I lie awake
And wonder how much more my soul can take
Emotions that just can’t say goodbye
Each night I still let lose and cry
With time your mind might understand
That the love of your life has found a man
But your mind and your soul are two different things
Your mind may cope, but your soul spreads wings

The mind moves on, but a soul will fly
It’s for this innocent soul each night you cry
Yet on it soars from door to door
In search of a love, it will never ignore
‘Cause there’s only one thing a soul can’t learn
That the love it yearns, won’t be returned

And when your love for one’s so very strong
You heart will swear, your mind must be wrong!
Surely this is a dreadful mistake
Your heart it seems just will not break
It won’t slow down until it’s crowned
Next to the one, that may never be found
So on it searches from door to door
For this love that drives, it can’t ignore

And the day will come when your heart and soul
Meet together, to pay their toll
They seemed to think there would always be more
But now it seems they’ve reached the last door
The sweetest key of love together they hold
But the lock of this door, is not the same mold
It doesn’t matter how hard they try
This door they’ve found won’t ever pry

It’s then that your heart will break down and weep
For this unanswered love, it must always keep
Finally it has seen what no soul can learn
That the love it gave, won’t be returned

And if you’re strong your heart may mend
Yet for this soul, there can be no end
So on it soars everywhere it can
For a love that’s given to another man
‘Cause there’s only one thing a soul can’t learn
That the love it feels, won’t be returned

Late in my life when God calls my name
It’s then I must try to hide my shame
For when I stand at heaven’s gate
I know my soul will show up late
‘Cause where else could it possibly be
Than pounding on that door
Searching for the love it can never ignore

Unrequited love. The subject of many a poem. :o)I think you stated it so very well. This was a nice read and had good flow to it. Welcome to YPDC, which I think you'll find is quite an addictive place to be.

I really enjoyed this poem, thought it wrapped nicely.

It got a little long/repetitive I think you can make it even better if you shorten it up a bit.

Either way, great expression, wonderful sentiment. A favorite topic of mine!

beautiful poem I loved how this flowed and how it was under the topic of lost love, but did not resort to anger or self-pity as many poems do. I hope to see a lot from you in the months to come.

Oh wow. This was an awesome poem. You portrayed everything I am feeling right at this very moment. It's a horrible feeling and each miserable pain you found a way to describe in perfect detail. Thank you for sharing this. Wow.
