Soul Mates

Should I give up on love for loves abuse,
when that cruel ax lies buried in my chest
or just keep loving hoping that I find
a loving heart where my souls love can rest
and in return give loving that is pure
I oft hear stories that well do attest
of love enduring given and received
a love that lifts both people to their best
no, I will keep my heart both soft and clean
so that souls love may find it and be blessed
