The Search

Part I

So many memories...
Voices from the past
Whisper empty words in my ears.
I sometimes see tracers on my skin,
And I try desperately
To wash away
All the handprints,
All the lust,
All the hurt.
They made promises
They never meant to keep.
Some were so angry.
So selflessly selfish.
I saw it in their eyes.
Lust.
Anger.
Fear.
Self doubt and self pitty.
They seemed so sincere,
At first.
By the time they turned
And showed their intentions,
I was devoted.
I blamed myself,
But they haven't changed.

Part II

In you I find peace.
In your eyes I see the future,
And a love
That is unconditional and true.
In your arms
I feel a comfort
And warmth
I've never known.
There is a light about you,
A gentleness I crave.
You've gained my trust,
My devotion,
My love.
You've shown me a world
Made only more beautiful
With you by my side.
With your hand in mine,
There is nothing
I cannot acomplish.
You are everything I've ever dreamed,
And never thought existed.
You have always had my heart;
Now in you,
My heart and I are united.
The search is over.
