The Last Soulmate
The Last Soulmate
I turned to Love and asked her,
"At long last is this my best day?"
Love's fickle eyes swift averted
as she gave her cold answer, "Nay."
I turned to Hope and beseeched her,
"Do you lurk deep in Love's domain?"
With a careless shrug Hope replied,
"From all promise I must abstain."
I turned to Faith and pressed her,
"Will your constancy yet hold sway?"
Faith sighed and casually replied,
"Pledges are made to be betrayed."
I turned to Desire and bid her
"Will you the full distance go?"
Desire's soft voice was coldly lent,
"I may dampen passion fire's glow."
I turned to Loneliness and asked,
"Shall you then be my heart's parole?"
Loneliness took my hand and sighed,
"I'm the last mate of your numb soul."
