The Wish

In ancient Eygpt
I made a wish,
to meet my other half
and when I did,
He smirked a bit
and gave me a cruel laugh
I loved him so,
and he loved me,
though he refused to let it show
and as I died in that man's arms
again I made a wish
that I would live
a million lives
and in each within
I'd find the man I loved so much
and stay until the end.
And so a wish was granted
the last one just for me
and one hundred years later
I awoke
clear across the sea
I lived my life
through war and strife
and then he came along
the man who cruelly laughed at me
and forced me to be strong
and two hundred years
after that life was done
I met him yet again
and realized rather suddenly
that our love would never end
and so I go on living
in search of each cruel laugh
and I will go on living
as long as he comes back
