I showed you my soul

took it out of it's place

and gently into your palms

wide open, the space in my chest

missing a piece...yours to complete

//

isn't that how it usually goes?

well, I suppose, usual we weren't

for although I showed you mine,

you never showed me yours

//

looking back now,

I think I can see

the accidental times

you bore your soul to me

//

the times we lied together,

harmonizing to my favourite song

maybe it was your soul shining through

that night we danced in city streets

//

your soul wrote that song in my name,

I do believe

maybe it was your soul,

the part of you that was meant for me

//

unfortunately, it was not your soul

in our love, I received.
