Desire

Desire All my wishes and all that could have been, Became a dream I never could reach. I crave for things I cannot attain. My brain won’t allow me to make those same mistakes again. So alone I stay and alone I lay. I still dream of better days, But that future seems like it is a long way away. The rain pours down inside my heart; It’s cold in this part of my body of scars. Wounds will not heal, when I can no longer feel, The warmth of her love, In this nightmare which has become real. Dark days are upon us. Without the opportunity of love, I can be no star. Love is needed to bring some kind of happiness to my memoir. I want to have a life where I am allowed to just write, But that life is unattainable, without a wife. I need motivation, to change my situation, But being single makes me, Apathetic to being all I can be. Words speaking of sorrow leave me wanting to be more positive, But I can never forgive and I don’t know how to live, This never ending story of searching for glory; Or just acceptance, that my lines are worthy.
