All I ever wanted...

All I ever wanted was a little bit of sun,
A stroke on ingenuity with an expression of fun.
All I wanted was a simple belief,
Not shattered hopes and burnt out grief.

All I ever hoped for was nothing far-fetched or strange,
It was an earthly plain where distance could always rearrange.
But what can now be said and thought of as true,
In depths of life we find we must bid adieu.

Sad as it may be a heart cannot even weep,
It simply breaks down and shatters into fine pieces to keep.
Each time it erupts in an emotion of solitude and sacrifice,
Nothing more left to appease such an appetite.

If life could just tell me what it required,
So that I would not associate with the unquiet.
If life could just give me of a glimpse of that which I need,
So that this feeling of uncertainty can never feed.

And yet in such a state of mind so many questions arise.
What to feel or say or do in this mindless way leading to one's demise.
What to keep or throw far into the deep,
What more to do when a heart begins to bleed.

It was not asked for nor was it wanted.
So why did it happen and why was she enchanted?
By his mystical ways and deeds,
His truthful words that even echoed in her sleep.

His sense of perception that turned one so perplexed,
His straight forward way of depicting the facts.
His honesty and care that shined through the rest,
And his obedience and patience that always impressed.

Life but turns us so easily into slaves,
Captured by each other's simplistic ways.
And all one can say is to leave and forget,
The hardest part of life is living with such regret....
