Karmic Liaison

Not friends in the truest
Meaning of the word
But bonded somehow
For some reason
Nothing in common but a past

We hold on to this connection
As if there were a reason

As if our souls
Travelled in the same circles
For many lifetimes
And linger together
For no apparent reason
Almost caught in a magnetic field

But who can say we’re not
Freeing ourselves of a cycle 
Working out some karmic debt

Deep thoughts about life and its reasons. We can only speculate until we know the truth. Like the line " Nothing in common but a past"
