Weakness

I'm not sure. I just had to post something. December 13, 2008. Oh! And as soon as 2009 hits... I'm going to make an attempt at posting a new poem daily. Hopefully I can actually stick to that. We'll see.

I keep taking from myself

But I have not enough left

I keep aching for a dream

But he doesn't hold a soul.

As much as I try

I can't let go of this hunger

As much as I need

I can't satisfy this thirst.

A tender, loving kiss

Would be like breathing in life

A soft, smooth touch

I could forget all the pain

I'm longing for a beginning

But the doors are locking shut

I feel myself aging

I want to find my beloved.

Do I have any more chances? 

Of that, I'm not so certain.

But believing is what I do best

Even when doubt surrounds me

I am like a candle

All darkness can't snuff me out

But some days it gets hard

I want to give up

And like a never-ending well

I pull from me some strength

And realize... I just need time.
