A Soul Waits

The soul

Of a good man

    Lingers around her

Refusing to go to the afterlife

    Because

He loves her

   So he stays here, on earth

Waiting for her 

     He watches her grieve him

He watches her cry

    He watches her carry on

And he watches her move on

    She eventually finds someone new

And starts to forget about the man she once knew

    He watches her get married

And divorced 7 years later

     He watches her cry

He watches her carry on

   He watches her wander around town

And he wishes

   he could still touch her

     And tell her that

      Everything is going to alright

       That he’s still here

       Waiting to go to the afterlife with her

       Even after everything

        He still waits for her

         He always will

The soul

  Of a good man

    Lingers around her

Refusing to go to the afterlife

    Because

He loves her

   So he stays here, on earth

Waiting for her 

    Even though

She is the one

   Who 

Killed 

   Him.
