I’m searching yet to find it
Pain to harsh to say
Lost not found
Spark the darkness
Sound then shattering silence
A touch no pleasure
Spoke without communication
Does it exist at all
Or is it just an illusion
As I wander the world reaching out…
Yet , no one was there
A bitter secret found out
Through a locked door
I was left, cold and alone
A soul existed, then did not
A decade to see the truth
Two more and another was gone
A marriage lost to fate.
A man left
Alone
