Classic Soul Ballads Poem

My heart is bleeding breaking apart

Piece by piece Layer by layer

I want to cry

I don’t have to

I shouldn’t

I can’t

I couldn’t

I won’t

I have no right to cry

I have not told you, you are all I want

I have no right to wish you mine

Because you are for someone else

You are leaving. You have left

Soulful ballads are all I hear in your absence

Saying goodbye

Like a classic Romeo and Juliet play

Has become an obsession

Lasting more days than I bear

I want to cry

I don’t have to

I shouldn’t

I can’t

I couldn’t

I won’t
