Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn <br />Between this great love gained and love forlorn <br />Irony... How cruel to a lover's heart <br />Her soul to find, only to be apart <br /> <br />On these days, I wish not to have been born <br />Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn <br />With lovers together, faces of glee <br />Only thoughts of how far she is from me <br /> <br />Aye, all days are not to be joy-laden <br />Naught are these... I, dreaming of my maiden <br />Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn <br />Won't you take from my mind this painful thorn? <br /> <br />Though halt that request if it were to be <br />By removing pain, she'd be lost to me <br />I'd make the sacrifice and lonely mourn <br />Oh, soul, so tortured, tormented and torn <br /> <br />((June 17th,2007))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tortured-tormented-and-torn/
