Ironic - March 7, 2000

Is it not ironic
to believe in soulmates
but never find your own?

To realize that
halves
are not always halves
and a peg 
in a square hole
still does not fit

To watch
in a detached manner
that all of those
around you
are happy
which lends
a measure
of satisfaction
but know that
you return to
no place
that is
home

For your soul
is not there,
but out
seeking one
to complete
the puzzle.
