The Pain Down In Your Soul Was The Same As The One Down In Mine

 

I don't know if I have one solid soulmate

I can assure you, though-

That I have many beloveds who hold my soul within theirs-

Whether they like it or not

And I only really just had this revealed-

Because here I feel like the part of me that's held by my beloveds is so far from me-

And I long to be reunited and made whole again

Yet I must be patient

 

I pine for everyone

And in this talk of soul-mates and such

I worry myself into believing that I worry them

I know they, unlike me, most-likely have one solid soulmate human-

And so it's selfish of me to brag myself up to be their soulmate

Since I'm not.

Though, the many they that are my beloveds

Are mine.

At least at this moment.

 

So I feel this deep longing that wretches my insides around

And hurts my heart

And I miss people and places and thing more than I've ever missed before

And I love-

I love stronger than I have ever loved before

And that love hurts, but it's more than worth it.

 

That's the pain that cuts a straight line down through the heart-

We call it love.
