Wanted
Wanted
You go around searching for a place
That "place" being someone,
That place being something;
That place being somewhere;
Somewhere, you want to be wanted.
Thought he found it; he did: thought.
That turned out to be an ersatz: faux.
He left. He found.
Found the same "place"
A recurrence, a repeat
A déjà vu of what he thought he left.
A déjà vu of what he thought he escaped
Wanted.
