Body And Soul Poem by Kim Aouad

Body And Soul

Rating: 4.7


I am a mess
And I honestly do not expect any less
The day you left
Was the day I felt
Numbness in my soul

You're gone
I'm lost
A line must be drawn
For I have become a ghost
Of the girl I used to be

I am a bomb that has been defused
I am a doer of wrong who never before refused
A helping hand in times of dire need
I garbage any offer that might seem inept
And treasure the ones that seem adroit

My insides are all out
Running has no more use
I wish I could sprout
A pair of wings to fly
Fly beyond the sky

I miss you dad
I miss you like hell
This is my breaking point
I can't hold on anymore
I want an out
Of this life I am currently leading

I try to esacape
The deathly hollows I have to face
However, things took an unexpected turn
And I found myself victim of pity,
Something for I do not yearn

Lost I am
But want not be found I do
Nothing is my life without you
Nothing is myself without soul

I want out
Forbearing I can no more
Closing in on me are doors
Locking me in my cage of misery

I want out
For my soul is sore
From all the chances I have taken
And I can see no more

when I read your comment [below] on Pam's poem ('You') , I remembered that I had read one of your poems, where you mentioned your dad.. it is this poem, 'Body And Soul'.. a beautiful tribute to your dad, together with a heartbreaking cry of pain.. Hug you, dear Kim ___________________________ Kim Aouad (1/14/2016 4: 30: 00 PM) ''I dedicate this poem to dad whose presence I still feel in times of need after a year and 10 days of his sleeping with the angels... When I'm feeling down, I close my eyes and imagine dad holding me, and I actually sense his presence that I grew accustomed to - knowing he's still here, though not physically, eases my thoughts and clears my mind. I am so glad to have had the chance to know him; he'll always be my cornerstone... Beautiful write! Filled with raw emotions that I, for one, relate to to the uttermost.''

The deeper we love, the deeper the sorrow, you express it so honestly in this poem, putting it in verse is good! !

I am sorry for your sadness but I know many lives must go through times of pain and loss. It is good that you write about these feelings and have the courage to put them out in public here.
