two souls
trapped on this planet
born not of choice
but as a matter of course
they experience pain and joy
fullness and loneliness
hunger and satiety
searching for that certain soul
to make it all make sense
we found each other
years ago
like a shot out of the blue
from the moment we locked eyes
we were fundamentally changed
we didn't date, we just spent time together
we didn't court, it wasn't a contest
we just knew
over the years we saw trouble a plenty
but it drove us together
not apart
I've heard about being one flesh
and we were
I didn't know where I left off and she began
until she was taken
after years of weaving our souls into one
she was ripped from my life
leaving a wound where she was
and everywhere she touched
some of it heals
the scar tissue is evident
but it's not the same
because this scar tissue doesn't feel
I feel a kind of numbness now
woven in between the pain
I'm changed but not for the better
I don't know if I like who I've become
spending my days wishing
for what can never be again
