for some
the soul-matedoes not exist
and being no
more real
than
the perfect
woman
it is very easy
to walk away
no harder than pulling
your fingers
from fire
in-fact natural
and being that
you can find another
who is not your
soul-mate
with relative ease
the human condition
is relived
but
in absence of a
soul-mate
some find life
to hard
to carry on
and
many times
the end for
these souls is
Shakespearian
and while they
cut off their ears
for the sake of
love
the rest of us
continue to
drink
sleep
fuck
and fight
our way
towards
the end.
