SOULMATE

 

I have waited for ages, 
Imprisoned by painful rages, 
Tormented by my hurtful emotions, 
Daily tears mock me in devotions.

The scars in my heart bleed, 
In solitude I long for His lead, 
Though downcasted, I hope for His touch, 
Sleep hugged me to the couch.

Like the deep of the sea, I slept, 
Healing the wounds of my emotions, I left, 
Could this be the price for love?
Love slaps and makes a man rove.

Though wounded, I will give her my ring, 
I\'m in search of her to bring, 
She\'s a soulmate, 
Not a housemate. 

Surely she will make a perfect match, 
And our life will be a marriage watch, 
I will love her with all I got, 
Deep up my heart, she worth a lot, 

I must learn to let go, 
If not, she takes a go, 
This holy union is for life, 
I will make her my wife.
