something is missing

by falcon - Not entered

Something is missing,
missing from my "perfect" life.
There is a part of me that i don't have.
And i don't know what it is,
i just know it's not there.
Everyday i reach for it,
but it's always one step ahead,
just beyond my grasp.
I get so close, but never close enough.
And i am nothing without it,
i am nothing because it is everthing.
It is all i need and all i can never have.
It is that one little piece you must have for something to work,
and without it,,,nothing.
If i could just find out what it is i'm missing,
what i don't have,
maybe, somehow, i could get it.
But that is the tragedy of my story:
I search everyday and i don't even know what for.
The unknown haunts my dreams and tears at my soul,
that one secret that would complete my life.
Its mystery threatens to destroy me,
as i stumble through the darkness,
peering into nothing and trying to find something.

Reason for writing:

    None given
