Mellifluous Murmurs

Spineless Soul

Yes,

My soul stood tall

without a spine.

Yes, 

I walked on around

without the help of this useless body.

Yes, 

I enjoyed watching the seas drift

From the oceans 

to the rivers–

ending its paragraphs at the lakes. 

Yes, 

I helped a heart so soft 

that it couldn't move.

Yes,

yes,

yes,

yes...

I did all of this for you,

would you do it for me?

I did all of this for you,

have you thought of me?

I did all of this for you,

can you please remember me...?

Please,

give me a spine

so I can stand tall

next to you 

and with you.

Please,

give me a spine 

so I can embrace you

and love you

like others do.

Please, 

give me a spine

because I am dying

without you.
