Ode to an Earthly Marriage

We set forth together

Visions of a bright future ahead

Little did we understand

That spending our lives together

Would demand

A startling compromise of core choices

Until our individual voices

Were no longer seen or heard.

At first there was a constant battle

A tug of war, in order to gain power

There is no love sought through control

And this marriage had a limited hour.

As time wore on

One partner gave in to the other

In order to appease

Their seemingly endless needs.

The partner who gave

More than they received

Felt themselves fade away

Into something unrecognizable.

This marriage was of soulmates

And not of true twin flames

Do not confuse security for love

Ask for guidance from above.

Twin flame share a consciousness

And will make the same core choice

You never have to worry

About losing your inner voice.

She only wish she saw the signs

She originally said no to the soulmate thrice

Reflecting back it's clear

When your inner voice halts in fear

Listen to your heart's song

And patiently wait,

For the answer to appear.
