Unknown Contentment

We’ve only met briefly Few times I’ve been on expeditions to find you Only to be unsuccessful It seems as if you wish to remain distant I’ve longed for you Yet you’ve rejected me You usually join me with love But it seems she now hates me Sometimes you came with self-fulfillment But he could care less for me What are my faults…? My shortcomings… Is the problem with me? Life is insufficient Soul down-trodden Aspirations lost Waiting for a miracle Longing… Urging… Yearning… To finally know satisfaction And as time continues Until we meet again I can only fantasize What it is like To live, live, and live life once more Only by way of contentment
