The Sadnessss of a Man

The Sadness of A Man

                                  Begins with the need to want,
                                  A want so great that feelings bleed.
                                  Bleeding of a desire so blunt,
                                  Dying from a selfish greed.
                                 
                                  Are those denial's concealed?
                                  Are they coming from the memory of wishes.
                                  Hoping that a passion will heal,
                                  And spark those desires to bliss.

                                  Is it the bitterness that hurts,
                                  Like a knife it deepen's and cuts.
                                  Are memories of past mistakes,
                                  That oversee gladness to late.

                                  For me the sadness of it all,
                                  Feel's haunting and oh so tall.
                                  Still, I stand by pride,
                                  Even if l;ife concludes I must die...
