Unmet Need

Quaterne

 

Unmet Need

 

I know not that for which I yearn

But know my life is incomplete,

At night I lie and toss and turn

But always I meet with defeat.

 

Sometimes my heart will miss a beat.

I know not that for which I yearn

 A malady I cannot treat

Sometimes it goes but will return.

 

Perhaps in due course I will learn

 What I must know to be complete.

I know not that for which I yearn

Until I know I can’t compete.

 

So like an echo I repeat

 What must I do to earn

 full forgiveness for my deceit

I know not that for which  I yearn.
