Voids Need To Be Filled

Sitting alone like the rest of my life,
In my eyes I see it, no family, no wife.
Love is on my mind, companionship in my heart
People all around me are happy, my life torn apart.
Depressed, Disrespected, Dis-owned, whatever you call it,
There is a void in my heart, just like an empty wallet.
Meaningless things with no substance at all, might fill it temporarily, but not for the
long haul.
Remember this that cash spends quickly.  Then you are stuck with nothing at all.
Love is what I'm looking for and that might scare some away.  But the ones that stay by my
side are the real winners today.  I'm not the best catch ever, I have my faults and
problems, but no one is perfect there is always a puzzle to solve us.
I'm respectable, lovable and would never cheat, but I'm also a nice guy, so that means
women will use their feet.
To step on my heart and leave it to where it cannot be fixed, But in the end an *******
leaves them even more Vexed.  Men and Women are so much alike, neither knows what the
other is thinking.  All we can do is go with out gut feeling.  But so many times our gut
feeling has been wrong.  We pick up the shattered pieces, continuing to where we belong. 
On our different paths, we might cross at sometime, It is in these moments we share, That
everything seems fine.
Your hand in mine, your head on my shoulder, not thinking about anything our love is a
boulder, Not moved alone It is sturdy as hell, I'm so glad we are to this point im no
longer empty as well.  I need this Void filled and I believe you are the one to do that.
Don't run away at the first true sign of Difficulty. Stand Strong, Be Firm, and Stay with
me as I will do with you.

Thank you all for the kind words. I've just uploaded cleaner versions of some of my random thoughts poems that were taken down because of swear words. Go on and take a look at them. I stopped writing for years but it's always been in my heart I'm just getting these words across and out to the public maybe they will help someone sometime.
