What We Have Is A Karmic Connection

by Christopher Louie

PROLOGUE

This poem explores the nature of karmic relationships, characterized by intense initial attraction and a sense of familiarity. Unlike soulmate or twin flame connections, karmic relationships exist primarily to settle unresolved issues from past lives, often resulting in a toxic dynamic. Despite the strong pull between partners, these connections can feel addictive and are marked by emotional highs and lows. Individuals may struggle to leave even when the relationship becomes detrimental. Ultimately, karmic relationships are temporary; once the karmic debts are addressed, the universe typically separates the individuals involved, highlighting their role as life lessons for growth.


What We Have Is A Karmic Connection

I loved you, and was so attracted to you,
and for a while couldn’t get you off my mind.
This feeling for you is something new;
Nothing else compares as it’s one of a kind.

When we first met, being with you felt easy;
There was much about you that I wanted to explore.
I love how you were so enamored with me.
There was instant connection like I’d known you before.

I was certain that we could grow old together;
my feelings for you were really that strong;
But very soon I’d begin to know better,
as so many red flags started to prove me wrong.

You began to make me feel sad and frustrated;
Everything I did or said was misunderstood.
I couldn’t understand why you hesitated
to put labels on us like normal couples would.

And there was always a feeling I couldn’t quite place;
I find your presence begrudging and heavy.
For a moment I couldn’t even look at your face,
the same one I fell in love with many times already.

I wanted to leave but also didn’t want to go;
You were like a drug that I just couldn’t get enough of.
We had a lot of moments marked by highs and lows,
Yet it’d still feel like we were meant to be in love.

The nature of our relationship was like a roller coaster.
It would often bring out the worst in me.
I recognized less of myself the more we got closer,
but yet I couldn’t bear the thought of setting you free.

Despite the toxicity, I know how much we love each other.
Fate brought us together as we were each other’s lessons.
I now understand why it’s hard for us to be together;
This dynamic that we have is called a karmic connection.

We were fated to meet in order for us to evolve,
as we had unresolved issues from our past.
The only way for us to move on is if they’re resolved.
Karmic relationships are not meant to last.
