The Extension of My Soul

You are the extension of my soul.
You are the heartache I often face.
You are often carried away by your sorrow.
You make me respect your personal space.

I am the pillar of trust and virtue.
I am the one who could heal your heart.
I am often swept away by your charm,
I made the mistake of sharing this at the start.

We can survive past injustices and pain.
We can forget both her and definitely him.
We can forge our spiritual path together.
We make the light of the sun seem dim.
