Love Poem: Star Crossed

Star Crossed

The windows to your soul
sold you down the river
at a glance
Who knew a chance meeting
on a cold day would plunge
us both into a trance
There's no coincidences in life
so everything 
is meant to be
Plans brought us together like
eyes on a face but neither
one could see
On the surface we were free
but behind the scenes
we were bound
Together like shoelaces in a
knot tied by the 
love we'd found
Our crying hearts made sounds
but neither heard
what was said
Soon we'd be consumed by
the thoughts eating
away at our heads
A star-crossed love had been
bred woven by the
ties that bind
Chained to each other forever
stuck in a web
of the mind
Maybe another place & time
will see us make
this right
For now there's space in between
this link until
we align our sights
