The Ardent Optimist

Since infancy a void

Has plagued my existence

Attempts to disregard such anguish

Only magnified the hollowness

So many years

Have came and went

Without a single trace of you

This half a man, with half my heart

Who I've been searching for

Since I could walk

And still I hold on

To faith that we shall meet again

I'll stay forever strong

Until the day I find

Where I belong

This broken child

Collapses forth

In desperation

Come in, make this life complete

And stay forever more

The memory of you now

Seems like fading moments

Passing by

Like senseless dreams

That beg to wake me

From my comatose reality

Disposed of precious love

As though none was ever needed

Addiction over blood

The time has come to rectify

What you have done

This passage is the fruition

Of a life confession through song

Reaching out, holding on to the hope

That you will make me whole
