before this life in another place
a promise most sacred was made
two souls vowed to meet again
whatever path one would take

entering life terrestrial
one before the next
for kindred spirits a journey began
oblivious to life’s context

through the years each struggled
in search of love and faith
a mate she found and so did he
they thought they had it made

is this it?
one would ask, is this the happy end?
no my friend, brace yourself
for their lovers played ‘pretend’

when he came to know the ugly truth
of mistrust and contempt
he wrote her a short and revealing note
in the hope it all would end

in an idle attempt to resurrect
the love he thought he had
two kindred souls were reunited
and almost wished they never had

‘thank you for being here’, she said
he replied ‘there was no ill intent’
..
you see my friend, although bittersweet
this is the happy end

Deep thoughts of things one might imagine though unproven it was an interesting read. I always enjoy a story written poeticly. Thanks for the read
