An epoxy of emotion

I go through daily.

So much devotion.

Where will it take me?

 

I reach out;

Grasp empty space.

Trying to scout

For a safer place,

To put my heart at rest.

 

Passing through

To the next test,

That life bestows

Upon me.

 

Finding

Only a moment.

Yet needing

An eternity.

 

Feelings swirl

Through my mind,

An endless circle

Of idle time;

 

Whispers are spoken

In the dark;

As a solitude figure

Walks through the park.

 

Alone, needy,

Looking for love.

An innocent heart

Trapped

In this world

Of push and shove.

 

Sometimes empty,

Sad and down:

All alone

in this ghost town.

 

Just to hold,

Once again.

A gamble of emotion;

Will I lose or win?

 

To touch, feel,

Care and hold:

So much devotion,

That cannot be

Bought or sold.

 

Help me

Relearn to feel.
