Night Magic

How can I have a soulmate

If I have no soul? 

How can I I find myself falling for you? 

when my heart is dead and gone

It's been that way for too long? 

Are you my savior? 

Or my own personal hell?

How can I want you to  love me when I can't even love myself?

I'm torn up inside,

burned by too many many tears I've cried. 

I'm tired of being lonely, 

Of loving someone who will never love me in return

Yet I long for your touch

I long for you near, 

I'm. so happy and hopeful with you here. 

Is it a. physical bond we share, 

A magic when our bodies become one, 

Or is it deeper than a physical touch? 

Have you touched the soul I thought abandoned me? 

Or found the heart I thought I set free? 

When you are near there's magic in the night

There's hope and joy once again, 

But I know you will never truly be mine. 

I can't have a soulmate if I have no soul. 

And I can't give you a heart as dead and black as coal.

We can enjoy the moment, 

And feast upon the magic, 

If only this time could last

But I know in the end it isn't meant to be. 

You're still you and I'm still me.
