an old soul (poem by me :])

an old soul - by emyris

hello old soul,Β 
oh you tired, obsessive creature
look at you, crafting another dream from tears and dust
oh ever the creator..

always worried, always fussing, always drained.

oh you old soul,
only you ever rest, when running on empty..
crying quietly, muffling your sounds.

not
a
single
peep

all because, we don’t want her to get mad, do we?
oh, no no no..

why is the old soul confused? oh you, poor you.
do not play the victim

its your fault?
its your fault.

not his
not hers
not theirs

yours?
yours.

nobody cared
not her, not him, not even them.

no no no, will you ever learn, oh you old soul, do you do nothing right?

getting bandaids, nobody is getting hurt
getting ice, nobody is getting hurt
getting cotton, nobody is bleeding

oh you old soul,Β 
that heart bleeds of guilt, no cotton would fix that
that bruise turns purple, no ice would fix that
that cut gets infected. no bandaid would fix that

no no no.. oh you old soul, will you ever learn?

they did care, but not now.

its all your fault.

fix it.
