Analysis of Two Souls
Joshua Johnson 2006 (Suffolk)
Two souls intertwined
One cursed;
The other with a need to be nursed.
Together they become blind.
One a lover.
A true believer;
In this cruel world, he doth seem to bother,
thus, he became, a cursed lover.
The second cursed, from another-
who left in a hearse.
Suffused with a need to be nursed,
by one who hath the curse.
Cursed together;
The Nursed, The Lover.
Two Souls bound,
in a cursed forever.

About this poem
It’s a poem about an unhealthy relationship, in which a boy falls utterly in love with a broken girl. He wants to help her and in turn they become blind to what is right for them. I feel this poem is all too relevant to today’s world.
