Soul Mate

Trying to figure out a way
to put my words on the page
without surrendering
to these dark feelings of rage.

What have you done
to deserve this fate?
Is it because you chose me
for your soul mate?

You have spent so long
worrying about me
helping me to set
my bad thoughts free,

that you forgot about yourself
and your own well-being
until it was too late
for it to be seen.

Now that you have
a long road ahead
I must find a way
to disguise my dread.

To try to support you
for a change
now that our roles
have been rearranged.
