Actions and words cut deeper than a knife
Clawing and clamoring through this life
Searching for a meaning of all the strife
Pain and misery all he has known
Occasionally, a bone, he was thrown
Giving his everything, he was prone
Only to find himself once again, alone
The meaning of life is something pondered
Staring to the heavens a man embittered
Asking questions that will never be answered
A love found brings forth a new light
Letting go of the fear so that he might
Keep them at bay and not lose sight
His doubts a battle he must always fight
Her face lights a fire in his very soul
Her kisses take away all his control
Her eyes his very heart they stole
Will she finally lead him to a happy place?
Will she be patient, as he finds his pace?
Will she be the finish line for this eternal race?
Will she give him the love he searches to embrace?
