Where Did You Come From
Misplaced love’s disillusions
Has long found it’s justification
In my heart’s diminished expectations
The lesson was worth it all
Paid the price for my pains standing tall
Creating a desire to construct indestructable walls
~~~
But
~~~
I found
Contentment in 'my today'
Dissipating couldhavebeen thoughts at bay
Discovered in the sudden appearance of my now and always
~~~
Now
~~~
My “IS”
He’s everything required
Fulfilling most of my desires
Strong, noble, honest and love inspired
~~~
THEN
~~~
You came along
With your seem-so-right injection
Fulfilling my fantasy of manly perfection
Where did you come from
Better still how did you get here
Knowing your life is too filled for me
Yet creating a longing of having you near
Did God make one
And sin separated us into twos
And you decide to show up now
When there is no space in my life for you
~~~
I know why my yesterdays
Are in the yesteryears where they belong
And I know that my today is my heart’s home
So
How is it that
My tomorrows suddenly includes you
In a world of dreams and wishes never to be true
Perfection only a fantasy
Your presence is confusing my reality
Why and how did you invade my emotional security
~~~
Tis not fair
That a tomorrow
Appears disturbing the comfort of today
Knowing within this lifetime there is no room
Tis not fair
My ‘split apart’ exist
Appearing when the next best
Has my heart and soul consumed
~~~
Where
Were you
When my life needed you
Longed for you, dreamt of you
As
I sat
Patiently
In the Park
~~Waiting~~
