Souls drifting

I see this world as souls drifting past each other,
They sometimes touch briefly and sometimes for longer,
They are often masked hiding their true form,
Into their honest being they will never transform.
I let myself drift with nothing to hide,
I never dawdled I would take life in my stride,
I was content and happy I thought I had what I needed,
I thought with my life I had succeeded.
Then in the distance for the first time I saw you,
You were far and unclear but I glimpsed something true.
Your soul was beautiful it looked different and gold,
And from you warmth and compassion flowed.
You asked me and made me question where I was going,
I said I believed that the journey is about not knowing,
You then stared deep into everything I am,
And before I knew it my love for you began.
I could see myself for you completely falling,
Ignoring the voices of my own head calling,
I never thought you were like the others wearing a disguise,
But I saw it slip when I looked deep into your eyes,
Underneath the layers of what you let me believe,
Was someone selfish and a soul made to deceive,
Like Adam in the bible I realised I suddenly I was bare,
I needed to hide myself from the pain grab everything I could find to wear.
You nearly broke me and everything I ever had,
But for many lessons and reasons I am also glad,
Nearly losing everything I hold dear to me,
Made me realise unlike you, I am lucky.
When I found out your soul was not gold but black,
Before I ran I grabbed my heart and self back,
I no longer see you anywhere in the crowd,
Because of how you hurt me you are not allowed.

The truth in all hides behind a mask,
and sometimes that masks fails to fall.
Some where a porclien,
and when that glass slips,
a thin crack shows upon it's delicate structure.
I frown upon it.
I cried when realizing it was my own mask that had been broken.
An amazing honesty you supply in this poem. |

Great poem... yes it is sad... and yes... we all have that tendency to hide ourselves behind a mask... so that no one can see the true us...
But hopefully for some like u describe can see through that thin disguise and see the real person b4 it's too late...
As I said... great write... makes a person stop and think b4 acting on the feelings inside...
