Limbo

A poem about a soul's regret as they are forced to watch life go on without them.

My soul is among the living
though I am far from alive;
And as I watch them, dreary eyed,
repenting for their misgivings,
I can do naught more than continue fizzing.

Oh! How I yearned to leave them behind!
I knew the world was capable of cruelties,
but not of this kind!

From the moment I went missing,
to long after my life was deprived,
they have cried!
If only I was still living,
then I could do much more than sit here fizzing.

I am stuck in limbo, confined
stuck with the duties
of watching the life I abandoned whilst blind...
