The Soulmate

Everyone they say, has a soulmate in a way Those lucky have met, or will meet theirs some day The rest might really never know, what true love is Love knocks on their door, not to enter but to tease The soulmate is an angel, in form of a person One with whom you can share, the same kind of passion Men have conquered the world, only to find it not enough What they were really looking for, was someone to love God made man, then a woman from his lib That’s why men feel for women, a love so deep But men took love for granted, in favor of their greed They betrayed their hearts, and the love marching ceased Mankind survived centuries, through plagues sleeping on floors The soulmate hardly existed, throughout famines and wars Men bled for their kings, thousands dying of broken hearts Without their soulmate present, they died impoverished like rats By the time peace and prosperity, found mankind again Men were faced with, a new kind of reality and pain Just when they could afford, to flirt and share some laughs The availability of the soulmate, depended on economic graphs So that men could only marry, women they could afford The soulmate was again betrayed, and love again was flawed Still there were those very brave, who dared to still believe They must meet their soulmate, and wipe away their grief The soulmate knows you better, than yourself and beyond The soulmate and you, are two peas in a pond Without the soul mate, you are a face lost in the crowd But you stand out from the rest, when your soulmate is around The soulmate is worth, more than riches and gold You can’t place value on someone, with whom to laugh till your old Sadly not everyone of us, will find his or hers More than riches and gold, the soulmate is scarce.
