Trapped soul

You say its fate, I say it’s not

Maybe it was just a stroke of bad luck

When we met and our paths intertwined

You looked at me with that smile so divine

Now you are lost, never to be found

How could I have been so spellbound

 

How can life be so cruel

Maybe I was just a dense fool

Now I visit you at your grave

If only I had been a bit brave

That angelic smile I couldn’t save

I wish I could visit you beyond your grave

For the embrace of your warm arms I crave

 

Without your wits and guts

I am just a soul, lost

Within this darkness, I will stay

Thinking about this curse every day

With this immortality, I behold a blessing few might say

With this tragic ending that I could not foretell

My soul trapped by this unholy spell

With all this overwhelming guilt

Why am I crying over spilt milk?

 

This lost soul trapped in this plain

With no one to lose or to gain

Just left with all this suffering and pain

With no sun, just left with a lot of rain

 

A trapped soul wanting to be saved

From the mistake only I had made

Just keep going you always said

Now you lie there in your eternal bed

Trapped by that ray you hold

I am Just another trapped soul
