Sometimes i remember The nights of alone Not laying in bed just by myself But truly, completely, alone. Its dark outside But that doesnt compare To how dark it is inside This house of flesh. Skin, bones, muscle I learn every day about them, How they move, how they express But not how they love. Isnt it crazy We use these parts to love But these parts alone arent anything Other than bodies just touching bodies. What about thoughts? Are thoughts love? A human brain has thoughts From the time its born to death. When do we formulate thoughts of love. To our mom when she nurses? Or our dad when he checks for monsters? Dolls, toys, trucks, when is there love? But the soul is different. There is no soul scan Or soul therapy. It just, is. Its alive without being woken up Its there when everything is broken But what is it filled with? Spirit, passion, love. It is not in our bodies to love It is not in our brains to love It is in our soul Our third part. Maybe that is whats missing. I forgot to feed you. Youre withering away Like anything would. A body without food is broken A brain without books is empty And a soul without nuture, What happens then? Broken. Empty. Death. A soul without nurture is dead. Nothing happens without a soul. No life, no love, no awakening. Was my soul here from the beginning? Is there a start and end to you? There is to my body and my brain But what about you?
