Analysis of My Soul Speaks
My soul will not allow itself rest,
For, it strives to attain personal telepathy, at best.
Searching to massage the spirit inside your chest,
My soul seeks to enter through one of your ears, by
Enticing you with song while caressing your tears,
Meanwhile, speaking silently to you, as it has done,
All of these years.
