Yearning

Reaching out for something I do not have,

Something I need,

Something that leaves me void

Yearning

So desperate for it that I'm willing

To search through the pieces of broken

Relationships and relationships locked

Deep in the back of the closet.

Yearning

Like a crack fiend,

Shaking and sweating and crazed

In the recesses if my mind,

Trying to find

What completes me.

YEARNING!

"I can hear your heart crying out for me"

Croons Mario Barrett,

But whose heart was it?

I look left and right at girls being saved

And it's just me left to sob,

Alone.

Yearning

"I understand you the way an inventor does his masterpiece,

"Like a designer knows his blueprints."

Waiting to hear those words and be able

To nod my head because, "I know what you mean."

Yearning,

I'm your safe-house when it all becomes

Too rough, your panic room when

It feels too dangerous.

I'm just waiting to return that gift to someone,

To become their heart, soul, body, and mind's

Home,

Providing the functions of every room.

Yearning

Every possible need I could have

So neglected,

What my eyes won't do

My body does; screaming, crying

Agonizing

Yearning

Frustration, chaos, lust, sadness;

All because I am

Yearning

For something I no longer have,

Perhaps have never had,

Yet I know and I search

Cuz I need to have

Yearning

Someone who will always be there.

Too many times I call for a friend

And I come up short,

I need a guy that is here for me.

Yearning

Need something different, real.

Looking forward to the day,

Every night I pray for the end of the

Yearning.
