Unsailing Poem by La'Chelle Yount

At times I feel as though I am my own worst enemy
Trusting others, along with myself far too much
Starting to realize this is how it was intended
Never more to be at the side of love
Still not accepting the truth of all of this
To wonder why the heart has not stopped
Forever beating… Needing love and warmth
Knowing what a silly thing this is
Especially for me in my time… hmm my time
Wanting to share what I have to offer to him
Again being stuck with leftovers of myself
Realizing all to well the patterns repeat
One after the other, my thoughts of him will fade
As did I so quickly from his days and nights
A world I suppose to far to matter any longer
Sharing pieces of each other only to be forgotten
Never wanting anything but a company
A company turned into a wonderful heart and soul
And yet too much to ask when so far
Just a kindred soul
Perhaps I am forever lost at sea…
