Do you know?
Someone asked, do you know your heart?
Yes, yes of course I do
Again the question do you?
Yes, yes I know.
But, as I watched the sunset
I thought and pondered
The question made simple
Set my thoughts wandering.
What could I want?
A loving heart
A friendship
A soft hug to see me through.
It sounds reasonable
It should exist
But where will I find it
Amongst the ruins of my life
It must be me I must be wrong
I found all this
And may be more
But alas, my heart is dry
It died fighting a losing battle
Different squabbles, different minor
But in the end
It was derailed.
So the question is
Was it worth knowing
What my heart wants
And had and lost
So easy to play the game
The quest to find
This all consuming pleasure
Just a fantasy just a dream
Wake up to reality of the pleasures
Where is the today, the tomorrow
Memories imprinted in the sand
The waves washed it all away.
