Bounded Heart

I sit here with an unsettling emptiness
A valley of lost feelings, lost in a turbulent ocean
An eroded sense of purpose
A missing set of emotions

Knowing what I need but unable to find it
Missing out on the joy caring used to give
A chain with a broken link, out there somewhere my other half
Trying to figure out how once more to live

Thinking of the tender moments
Ones that were once for us to be
Finally ready to open up myself to the world
Yet I’m trapped knowing I’ll never again be free

Having so much to offer and no one to give it to
Waiting a lifetime to share myself with you
Agonizing over what could have or should have been
Oh the need to be wanted and alive again with you

So I sit here waiting for you
My heart feels bounded and tight
It’s all here waiting, hoping that someday soon
You’ll walk back into my life
