Not Soul Mates

Our Souls are Tied

He’s cheating on me

How do I know?

My soul says so

See we’re not Soul Mates

Our Souls are tied

One day I’ll explain the difference, but

Right now, I just want one question answered

Why?

Just ask you say

If it were that simple

He’ll just be deceitful

And with that

My love for him whittled away

He’s cheating on me

What proof do I have?

My soul yearns for numbness

So, narcotics I’ve grabbed

Have they been successful?

Oh, I think not

During love-making my Soul is present

His is not

Engulfed in sadness?

Yes, some days I am

Others’, betrayal fuels my inner warrior

And I react like a badass

He’s cheating on me

How do I know I’m not wrong?

Our Souls always sing the same song; this new one, I know not

His’ now sings a foreign song

Of his transgression

What am I to do?

I’ll remain silent and humble

Our Souls are tied, If I hurt his

Mine will also crumble

I pray it’s just a phase

Or infatuation

For if he leaves me

I am not delusional; there will be none after

For our souls are tied

Some really do not know what that means

Others understand that physically he’ll be gone

Spiritually he’ll always be with me
