The Unhappy Soul Poem by RIC BASTASA

the unhappy soul
waits upon those with broken hearts
on the corridors of jealousy
and without mercy
ambushes those caught
unaware by her own wiles

in misery she takes you in
and taking revenge for what happened
once to her
the roots of her unhappiness taking
the depth of darkness
the hollow recesses of
her own madness

she leads you to the whirlpools
of sorrow sucking you in
until you cease to breathe
and lost to the bottom
of another madness

and when you're gone
she laughs harder than before and
waits again for another soul
for another submission

the unhappy soul unmasked
is the devil within

look inside you
be honest

is it you?
