I'm not an island....

How could this be?
Comforting thyself as no comforter exists to
Soothe me.
Wanting to be loved
As my heart is open;
Ready for sweet words to be spoken.
Merely empty echoes seem to answer;
Absence of loving chatter.
Phantom kisses
Ghosts of a lover's devotion
Minus deeply professed emotions.
Historically caught up in mind numbing commotions.
Almost broken
Never gave up hope.
Believing in the power of ever changing reality;
Although the world screams
It'll never be!
Refuse to settle.
Too intelligent to meddle
In the creator's plan;
For the sake of prematurely
Rushing to receive the Wrong man.
I take a stand.

Focus on internal preparation,
No matter how hard it seems.
Continuing to believe wholeheartedly in the unseen.
Resolute--
Remaining steadfast
In this life changing pursuit.
Hoping for the day that lessons learned
Finally pave the way
Authentic friendship;
blossoming into a healthy
Relationship equipped with
Spirituality,
Autonomy and Loyalty.
Visualizing the inevitable arrival of
The soul who truly completes me.
