Love Poem: Lost Soul

Lost Soul

Heart like stone
Skin like ice
Eyes deep as a cave
Hair that flows like a wave

You seem so empty
You are here in body
But not in soul
I want to wake up your passion
I want to get you out of your shell
Bring you out of this hell

You can be so much more
Yet you move in place
And talk empty words
Inside you are dead
And this I dread

I enjoy seeing you alive inside and out
On the out you can smile
But I know inside you pout
You think your life is meaningless
I want to show you that you are wrong
And that I was here for you all along

Please wake up your feelings
You are lost without them
I know he broke your heart
And you think you can never heal
But I want to show you that you are mistaken
And I want you to find
What you lost long ago
And never let it go

He took what was part of you that day
He had your heart
But he destroyed all your hopes and dreams
And now you think nothing is what it seems

I want you to come back
You are so lost
I want to help
But you won't open up
You locked up your heart in a box and threw away the key
I want to find this key and set you free
Can you do all this for me?

With all that I have
I want to give to you
So please open up
And speak to me with words
Words that come from the heart
And never will I tear you apart

I want to feel the warmth of your skin
I want you to be alive again
Your eyes are empty
And from that moment it has hit me
I am the only one that can rekindle your flame
And make you feel the same
I will not hurt you like he
So please set yourself free
I want you to live and be
Who you once were
Always with a smile on your face
Moving from place to place

I can pull you out
Of this hole he trapped you in
I will help you out and you can walk again
Be a lover and a friend
And forever be free
Just you and me

But you are stuck
And you can not see
What all can happen
Between you and me
