Soul Connection

Your soul needs loved,
You found a connection,
but turned your back

When we first met,
years ago now
You said, oh you’re unmatched
Your poetry is an unsung melody
We have this connection,
You called it soulful,
one of a kind

We’d believed in a reincarnated love,
but you’d never loved a real man

You miss the man I was,
You couldn’t change me,
I couldn’t be young again

You miss the verse I wrote
It was magical
Now it has changed
for better or worse
It’s mine and no one else's

It’s beautiful, you exclaim
and not believing it,
I refrained from sharing it

No connection to the soul,
I’m humble,
you pumped up my ego
only to promote your own

As soon as another poet showed up,
You were gone, but oh so soulfully

You can’t change
who you are
You’re afraid,
You might find the truth
and I change everyday
I’m fading away

I’ll never grow up
to be the man you want,
even though that was your idea

Years ago now,
You said, you’re such a loving man
with a wonderful soul,
yet I’m not that man
I’m not that poet
who writes the verse
that bites and hurts

My muse said get real,
These tears are false

I wish it were real
and I was loved
I’m unrequited, unsung
Your magic was enchanting
but I’m changing
and your muse is a liar

You miss that man
which you can’t hold
He doesn’t exist
anywhere, he’s your fantasy

You love me soulfully
Is it the truth?
and years ago,
You made me up
to suit your needs,
yet you can’t change
You can’t be young again

You beat me up
trying to steal my glory
faking all that love

You’re an unsung melody
You aren’t a poet,
but now you write soulfully

See me laughing, unchanged
as I walk away
The spell is broken,
knowing I’m the poet
You’re just a wanna be
looking for someone to copy
and you call it a soul connection
