soulmates

you’ve been my heart & soul

for my whole life

but the thing is

the piece i will never understand

why do I fight so hard

to prove my worth

to you

always talking to me like I’m inferior

always questioning my ideas

making jokes about my feelings

when you should know

you’re my strength

& my ultimate demise

You’ve had my heart for so long

I’ve never been able to reclaim it

to me… the description of your love

is like the Trojan horse

that released humiliation, deception & superiority

& destroyed my faith in love

leaving me fighting for a position

in my own life

one that was rightfully mine

one that was in my possession

one I already had

I fought to fill a role that was mine

that role is still mine

for years I’ve fought to prove myself

& regardless of the outcome

I simply let you go

we are soulmates

destined to be apart

but we are miserable without some form of contact

I’m a queen, better yet a empress

its inside of me

I shine

I radiate my glow

I rise
