:: without love, what is life? ::

when solitude has become too much
the loneliness unbearable to handle
under the starry night so cold and gray
walking down the road, humming along
scattered thoughts blown in the mind
the hot tears on the face, blurry vision
cries for help, blind ears and deaf eyes
they go unanswered, uncaring and unloving
walking into the oncoming headlights
then that moment -
the life's light of love will hit hard
the self-realization and clarity, the loss of love
taught to cherish, have sincere joy and new life
knowing what is needed, knowing what is wanted
knowing the ways of love again, dodging the pitfalls
before surely falling back in solitude of pain!

individual worth to nothingness and void
there is the long calm before the storm
anger erupts, explosive expletives ensue
being rude and carelessly pushing things aside
cursing God for this damning life, fuck you
hair wild and the face reads pain, crying
with hands clenching and hate in the eyes
the humanity fading away, the heart of the soul
diminishing and disappearing, an empty shell
then that moment -
the life's light of love will hit hard
the self-realization and clarity, the loss of love
taught to cherish, have sincere joy and new life
knowing what is needed, knowing what is wanted
knowing the ways of love again, dodging the pitfalls
before surely falling back in solitude of pain!

when all hope is lost, feeling it would go on
giving up the life, quiet suicidal thoughts
voices whispering in the head, blood letting
pushing people away, to keep them safe
incessant anonymous sex, left and right
in the mornings, tears flow again in pain
the unmade bed, the covers torn and stained
the empty bed and not a soul there, turning
over there, walking by in numbness, idle eyes
then that moment -
the life's light of love will hit hard
the self-realization and clarity, the loss of love
taught to cherish, have sincere joy and new life
knowing what is needed, knowing what is wanted
knowing the ways of love again, dodging the pitfalls
before surely falling back in solitude of pain!

catching glimpses of life and laughter, oh
longing pain in the very center of the being
aimless, in need of purpose, roaming the streets
unshaven and scruffy-looking, turning about
a couple walking hand in hand, with smiling eyes
a child running in the park, a puppy follows
an old couple, sitting and sharing a cup of tea
reminding again, the numbness replaced with sadness
in bed again, alone and crying, aching alone
making choices in hopes to die an early grave
pretending to be dead, staring at the ceiling
thinking of friends who forgotten how to care
thinking of past loves, where it went wrong
thinking of family members, the mistakes they made
drowning nearly to mental death, tired mind

then one day -

the life's light of love will hit hard
the self-realization and clarity, the loss of love
taught to cherish, have sincere joy and new life
knowing what is needed, knowing what is wanted
knowing the ways of love again, dodging the pitfalls
before surely falling in love again, simply because

love is life!
