My Love My Soulmate Poem by Moore Hope

For many years I lived in the dark

Waiting for that magic spark

The light that would show me what is meant to be

Who it is, that will fulfill my destiny

The day finally came and the door gently opened with a shove

With the warmth of the light flooding in, I knew I was in love

I tried to deny that these feelings I had could ever be true

Could I really be in love? Could I be in love with you? ?

I knew I was an actress, my life a masquerade

Many masks I did wear for the truth to barricade

For if I face reality and let my true feelings show

Then twenty two years wouldn't have pass before you'd ever know

But I choose a path in life to follow and the path I chose was wrong

Suffocated by the lies which created my life made, the years went by so long

A noose wrapped tight around my neck weighed down by a heavy chain

Struggling I walked my path, every step an inch of pain

And then one day I just gave up and fell down onto the ground

Darkness descended upon my body, so with my hands I felt around

My fingers stumbled upon a mask, a simple piece of wood

And when I placed the mask on my face, the world seemed as though it should

However when I took it off, the darkness once again faded in

So I knew that I must wear the mask and let this surreal world from it take win

Many years I wore these masks to help the days go by

No feelings did I feel, my whole life was one big lie

One day as I was carrying on, just as I always did

Some news came from a whisper, words that were meant to be hid

The words did something to me and my heart began to beat

The numb feeling of my body began to radiate some steamy kind of heat.

I did not understand what was happening; I only knew that something was wrong

I had to get in touch with you; the connection of sadness I felt was so strong

And so I took my final step on the wrong path I did make

With my Bluetooth on, I heard your voice, and the heavy chain did break

The path turned in a different direction and the mask I wore fell off

Instead of darkness descending upon me, a bright light shone in and diminished the bitter scoff

The doorway to the path flew open and in the entrance you stood

My knight in shining armor to rescue me just like in fairy tales said you would

But then I realized you were not a knight, but a woman just like me

Both jilted by the ones we loved, left alone in sadness and misery

Right away we hit it off and I knew it was meant to be

You were the person in my dreams, the blonde one whose face I could never see

Every time I dreamt of you, I felt so warm and safe

In your arms you would hold me tight; I was a poor and lonely waif.

It turned out, though in the end, that we both needed each other very much

Our love blossomed into a beautiful garden with each sweet caress and gentle touch

You unlocked my door to the free world, a world not made by a path

Instead we walk hand in hand forward, the whole world to go together we hath.
