Soul Mate
Violet Valencia
the gypsy said it looking in to my eyes
“He” is your soul mate…
I tried not to laugh
How silly to have thought you
the knight who would fight my fright
Falling deeper into your trap
I thought myself lucky
I thought it grand,
however…
You turned out to be a wolf disguised as a lamb
You can not be my soul mate
It simply can not be
I thought I knew deceit
Until you came to be
Leaving me in the cold when I sought your warmth
Allowed me to unveil your predatory heart
You are dark and I am light
destined to be together
but always apart
I leave you with your endeavors
the shell you call a life
the darkness behind your gray eyes
is one I cannot be accompanied by.
