You wander aimless in the cool
Lost in thought, like swirling pool
In search of worth, in autumn breeze
Dejection shows in trembling knees
A hole in pocket loses token
A memory of heart that’s broken
Creates a certain fearlessness
Determined to rise from this mess
How firm that grasp on cross like martyr
Allows one to sell goods and barter
On the floor is soul for sale
Though buyer often tips the scale
So offer it you will for bargain
With use of such enticing jargon
“Your passion and devotion shows me
You’re the only one who knows me…”
All the things you think they’d want
Yet opens you to digs and taunts
When what is best is often worse
To be alone feels like a curse
But times like this will plant the seed
That grows to show that all you need
Is there inside you all along
This fostered courage makes you strong
The emptiness that held you back
Is gone, you’ve cut yourself some slack
Now sure to not feel absence of
That most elusive thing, called Love…
