ISOLATED


Now some years later, the feelings remain
Desire to know you to love you in vain
Driven by primitive instincts and thirst
For now I realize that such could be worse

A life that's so private, sheltered from many
If only you'd share yourself more openly
What more would it change between you and I
Few words from your lips be they truth or a lie

Integrity compromised, unsatisfactory
Deceiving ourselves not knowing the story
Ego and pride, protecting what ails us
Ashamed to be humble for seen as a weakness

No obligations, commitments or promises
Evidence the time of healing surpassed us
A challenge awaits remains unfulfilled
Invasive this fear again to be willed

Immortal legacy, fruit of your loins
Hope for the future to at-ease the toils
A covenant damaged decisions insane
Conditional love is not without pain

Eccentric and wordy but nonetheless real
Though foolish I maybe as to reveal
Motive uncertain, propelled in suspense
Intrigue and yearning, emotional defense

Christmas time bring us the best and at least
Expecting and hopeful to enjoy the feast
With one who means as much as you do
But joy of this season is tainted with blue
Feelings and sadness from fears deep inside
Only the lonely will not abide.
