' As Good As It Gets? ' Poem by Julia West (julesx 64)

Does a heart need another - to feel complete?

Does a life need to be busy - to be fullfilled?

Does a lover need to be with you constantly - to be true?

Do lives need to be adjascent - to feel intertwined?


Why in a crowd, does one feel alone?

Why is control so important - the alternative so frightening?

Why do love songs and happy ever after's - often talk of others?

Why is it that life seems pityfully sad?

Why does everyone else seem happy - when in sadness you look around?


Bodies racked full of heartache, broken dreams,

Depth and intensity of feeling - grief / loss, let downs / broken plans,

Tears, Too easily come - Frustration? Or all of the above?


I so pray for better times,

To have someone special to hold, that's not taken away....

To feel that life for once is not only kind.... But stays kind! !

'Praps this is as good as it gets?
