Searching......

You try your best, but ends up being the worst.

When all works you down, leaves you with nothing but a frown.

It’s hard not to keel over, and just get run over.

Harder not to succumb, when the situation just leaves you dumb and all you want is to go numb.

So you put up that wall, hoping it never does fall.

Then you’re just left to stall........

Left stalling the inevitable; the most probable.

A scratch and a nick, the clocks go ‘tick tick’.

The works and antics of time, leaves you with the sour taste of lime.

........................

So you back back up, and trace where you let up;

that guard ever so dear, ultimately leaving you with a tear.

 So you build and build bigger hoping it might just be tougher.

Boundaries defined clearly, for all and sundry,

defence systems; valuable as empty cisterns.

The futility of your efforts to safeguard your forts and avoid fiery darts,

is betrayed by your inner-longing, and constant romanticising,

by the self-same builder; just another loner.

A hopeless romantic, just frantic;

frantic to let down and let in,

drawn in and now your ship is capsizin’.

So you’re back to square one, with your heart even more stunned,

 wondering, just left wandering........

blown and tossed to and fro, left with no strength to resist the flow..............

.........................

But you find that one, who makes you hope this’ the last one,

Slightly off the mark of perfection, leaving you with no question,

no doubt, just one thought and a secret feeling in your heart.....

It’s he, or rather, she..........
