You say you love her

But you don’t know

She has no one else

To call home

You’re reaching out

Wonder why

Can’t help but ponder

Your only life

You feel a sense

Of closing in

And yet you’re on

The scent again

Purpose driven

You deserve more

But it’s not what

You can afford

So you stay steady

As time goes on

And we salute you

For all you’ve done

Does it get better

Guess we’ll see

Maybe one day

You will leave

Time will tell

If it’s enough

To choose a life

Lacking in love
