It is what we are all
looking for…that
thing that completes
competes
deletes the sad
the bad
the simple emptiness
of living
we are all looking
in places
where we know it doesn’t exist
because it is effort
that hides
our fear…knowing
it’s never
ever
going to be there
satisfied
we sleep at night
alone
OK
until
we look again
climbing back atop
the vicious cycle
for another
lonely trip
around
the block.
