'Soul mate', he said
And I melted into my feet
I never dreamed
that word would find me
I always thought
someone made it up
out of pure cruelty
I was always a stray
who followed them home
and got to be held a while,
conditional convenience
I never dreamed
I would be embraced
by such elegant arms
'Soul mate', he said
And the sky would never be the same
I was always invisible ink
Now I show up on paper
wet and shiny, bold and meaningful,
unconditional definition
I deserve to be in a Love poem
I deserve to be in Love
I DESERVE LOVE
'Soul mate', he said
And all the mirrors winked at me
