Lost Without Love

I’m seeking a future devoid of conflict or fear;
but it all seems to be in vain;
thoughts of a passionate love draw near;
then suddenly go down the drain.

How can we ever find someone to love;
someone who also loves us?
Searching; we pray to the Father above;
tho often feel thrown under the bus.

It seems as though; I’m my own worst enemy;
expecting that love will suddenly appear;
many believe love is brought about by divinity;
thinking; by prayer; love will draw near.

Life is a blend of circumstance and free choice;
though destiny can often intervene;
we lend an ear; listening for love’s voice;
hoping to find our dream.

Without love; I feel completely lost and alone;
with no one to help calm my fears;
my empty house will never become home;
without love to dry my tears.

I feel my reality become a living mist;
a fog that shall soon fade away;
no longer, by love, shall I be kissed;
for love was my yesterday.

I have become totally lost without love;
though my love still abides, within;
by sharing thoughts; ordained from above;
I am learning to love once again.
