Nameless Longing


Someplace to be happy,
somewhere to belong…
Someone, who will want me -
something that is lasting.

Everything is nothing,
all that this world offers!
Words! Such meaningless words -
so much of life eludes…

Words that form, unbidden -
springing into my mind;
I cannot ignore them -
they flow from deep within.

Longing that is nameless,
exists within my soul;
driving each thing I do -
beyond my understanding.
