Curves
L. Kathleen Mathis 12/98
I live in a state of incompletion.
Do you?
Everything I do
Makes me more aware
Of this.
Wasting time and energy
I pursued the completion I have never found.
Chasing dreams,
Impatient youth
Compromised
And drove away that hope.
Now time works against me
And I am forced to accept the loneliness
That seems destined to be my mate.
I wonder,
will I ever find "my fit?"
The curves of my soul
Decry it's empty state.
What remains is distorted
by years of compromise,
as I forced piece after piece into the curves
of the puzzle that is my soul,
my impatient attempts to find the mate
to fit these curves
that hollow me.
To become comfortable
Being solitary,
Alone,
I vainly chase the independence I do not want.
I yearn
To live this life again,
To find you sooner
By doing what was right -
No compromise.
I fight
to claim back those years I threw away,
To live the adventures
I didn't dare to seek
chasing after you.
I struggle
To find those parts of me lost
In the shadows of partings,
And secretly I feed the desperate hope
In doing so, I'm preparing
Once again
For you.
Where are you...
