My heart searches
For a way to make my mind
Understand this deep feeling
That fills my whole being.
So long has there been
A void place in my heart,
A place no piece seemed to fit.
I could always find
A way to ignore it,
Or pretend it was filled,
When it was only
Covered with a blanket
Of wishful thinking.
I knew just how
The fitting piece,
The perfect piece
Would look.
I knew what it’d be,
To the finest detail,
For I’d explored my heart,
Again and again,
Seeking a piece.
But never could I
Find the perfect one,
The one to make me complete.
When we met,
I was so worn down,
So weary from searching,
That I’d given up
On ever finding a piece.
I didn’t even bother
To pretend or ignore it,
My void, my emptiness.
You stood so strong by me,
I had to applaud you endurance,
But never did I imagine
Your heart was true.
You stood so dedicated,
You stood in love.
A love so pure
It seemed flawless,
Too good to be true.
But my heart
Began to ignore the cries of my mind
And believe that you were sincere.
So much of me wanted
For you to fit my need.
I looked at my list
Of qualifications to be the one.
It seemed endless,
And even contradicted itself at times,
And my heart grew heavier,
As it seemed to have unobtainable demands.
But I still held on,
On to the hope,
The desire for you to be my piece.
My impatient mind
And eager heart,
Let time unfold
Your true identity.
Each day revealed
But one more line in your shape,
And soon,
Reluctantly,
My mind began to admit
To what my heart had wished.
You are my piece.
You fit me perfectly,
And fill the void in my heart.
Your love is true,
And unceasing.
You are
My indescribable love,
My soul mate.
