WHY ?

Loading ...Why don’t I ever get what I want?
Why are lonely streets and empty lands
My only haunt?
Why, when I look for love,
I get only lies?
Why do I always wait for someone,
With blank tearless eyes?
I try to glance beyond the stars
As i look up at the sky.
Turning to ask myself
The same question, why?!
I strain my ears to listen,
As someone speaks to me.
{Is that just the wind?}
but, I wake up with searching eyes,
below the bosoms of a tree.
I do not ask for wealth or fame
Then why am I always a pawn,
In destiny’s cruel game?
Why can’t I have someone
By my side?
Someone who’ll not be
Swept away by time’s tide.
I do not wish for a princess grand
All I long for is someone who’ll
Walk with me, hand in hand
Someone who’ll take me in her arms
When I’m feeling down.
Someone who doesn’t always greet me
With a frown.
Now, as I walk again on a solitary road
I feel my shoulders bearing down
With my broken heart’s own load
As I lay down for another sleepless night
I tell myself, don’t care about anything
Coz nothing’s gonna be alright.

Ofcourse its going to get alright! Just write happy love verses, and you’ll hit the target of finding the special one!
This is an intense poem of a want that is not getting fulfilled!
