Un-Whole

A poem I wrote August 4th 2004... was true then, is true now.

Un-Whole

I want to be loved

And feel not alone.

To feel another's fingers

Intertwined with my own.

To wake up and know

Someone's thinking of me;

An actual

Non-fictional inspiration

For my soliloquy.

A calming reassurance

That everything'll be ok

Even if all in my life

Seems in disarray.

The sound of hopeful lovers

Jiggling my heart's lock;

Seem to almost drown out

The incessant tick

Of my emotional clock.

But as usual it becomes

A repeat of the past,

An almost forever love affair

That doesn't ever last.


So, do I search for what

Others find by mistake?

Looking high and low

For another source of heartache??

Or do I just sit here

And twiddle my thumbs,

Waiting for my soul mate

Hoping he comes,

To take this puzzle

And make it complete

Ultimately sweeping me

Head over feet.

There are so many feelings

I'm forced to repress

Hidden desires

I'm dying to express.

Beyond mere physical

Tangles of affection;

I yearn for a more emotional,

Spiritual connection.

But alas, there is no one

So I'm forced to daydream

And save all my love tokens,

For one day to redeem.
