Dead soul

Nziza Kelly
A can is cherished while full, 
then cast aside when empty.
Sleepless, you adore her
yet she leaves.

No sweetness can fill 
a heart that isn't yours.
Even her kindest words sound ordinary as a friend.

An angel returns to haunt your dreams.
You wish you'd never met her, yet your heart still answers.

When love is not meant to be, patience cuts deeper than steel.

A fallen soldier
still loving her,
with no way to turn back.
