Souls Entwined by Similar Minds

One night by chance, a meeting in the dark
External beauty caught my eye, glimmering soul caught my heart
We walked by the overpass, jumped and then laughed
“Where do I live again?”
Hardly felt time pass

I started to get nervous and you soothed my anxious soul
Your kindness always shone so bright, whilst life took its toll
I love the way you held me, would give anything to hear your tone
So gentle in your subtle ways, the way you made me moan

I don’t know what we talked about then
Or in the days to come
Our bodies communicated for us some of the time
And fuck me, that was fun

The nurse asked if I was being abused
My neck so beautifully bruised
From the touch of your lips on my neck and my clit
Her concern had me highly amused

Souls entwined by similar minds
Dance through the depth of your knowing eyes
When I think of your suffering, I feel pain too
It starts small, but ascends to the sky

It stings and burns, it makes me yearn
For the softness of your skin, you’re truly my kin
Not everyone knows, the heaviness of the woes
That we weather my love
I carry your heart

I knew something was wrong as the silence grew long
And I thought of your dark despair
But you found me again and I found you, my friend
You brought new life, like first Autumn’s air

So when sometimes we speak, my solace peaks
Cos I know you’ve been going through hell
But if you’re able to write, then maybe some of your plight
Has dropped off, like coins down a well

I can never fully know you, you can never know me
Can never fully understand the inner turmoil of the other
But you helped me just by being you
If you could let me in I’d strive all hours of the day too
To help you to uncover

Your inner world is rich, I want to bathe in it
Have so much love for you, not only when we were lovers
When I hear you call, my heart stands proud and tall
You’ve really helped me to recover

So when all’s said and done, we had such fun
Then life pulled us in separate ways
But I feel you, I see you, you’re in my dreams
Love you always, til the end of our days

Fellow human, I love you so
Not in a weird way but you should know
Because it’s hard to connect in this life
I find comfort in knowing you know my darker side
And you value my struggles and strife

One day I’ll astral project all the way to Birkenhead
Our souls will embrace in the dead of night
I’ll hold yours, you’ll hold mine and if we fuck then that’s fine
But we don’t have to, it’s enough to hold you in my sight
