Submission

searching for something
which never existed,
i finally acquiesce

there is no ideal

an imaginary partner
hidden in the shadows
of my dreams

has all but vanished

i no longer wait
for her silent
communicae

so many years
spent searching

so much blood,
sweat and tears
invested

in an empty quest
with no map,
destination
or purpose

why bother?

the ends
never justified
the means

but for a memory,
long lost
in akashic records
sealed by fear
and circumstance

don't know why
it ever made
that much difference

now i realize
it doesn't matter at all

empty heart,
open mind
