A time will come,
And alone, you shall be,

(Ad lib: Hold, Nothing...)

Afraid of what is, (They're)
And all that has left you. (Gone)

You will shed tears… (Feel)
And fall, they may, (The ache)
Yet in their trails,
The truth will stay. (Truth remains)

---------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
You’ll reach for ghosts, (Ghosts)
Where laughter once was,
Hands gripped to nothing, (Empty)
But the pain of their absence. (Hands)
---------------------------------------------------

(Nothing remains here…) 
(But a breath that chills my heart.)

From the love made, (Love)
A sorrow will root deep, (Turned to loss)
And from that seed, (Roots)
The ache will surely grow. (Of regret)

Thorned to your heart,
Turning every wound into a pulse,
You’ll taste the salt, (Salt)
Weight pressing against your ribs. (Of memories)

---------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
You’ll reach for ghosts,
Where laughter once was,
Hands gripped to nothing,
But the pain of their absence.
---------------------------------------------------

Until your chest caves, (No air left)
From the memories you couldn’t save.
When it claims you,
A mercy will not come. (No mercy)

So fade you must,
Un-noose the longing and lost… (Fade away)
Let your final heartbeat,
Shatter like glass... (Shatter!)

Then die beneath, (Die, beneath...)
Every soul you've carried.

Souls I've Carried Poem

I love playing with words, finding new ways to put them together to express what I feel. I hope my poems encourage others to share their feelings openly and honestly. My aim is to paint pictures with words, making them sing in a way that touches everyone's heart and mind. Through my poetry, I want to create moments that everyone can see themselves in, exploring emotions and thoughts that connect us all.
