 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Unfulfilled


Unfulfilled each day that has passed by
still yearning for something that's hidden from view
a feeling or moment that can be treasured forever
something or someone that I know is true.

Love blossomed early and taught me of kindness
then left me alone with only shadows as friends
taking more from me then had ever been given
leaving wounds that would fester and time would not mend.

Friendship was scary with so many to be friends with
one person's anger was another man's bad dream
always fighting for status when status meant nothing
leaving more than just bruises from all that I'd seen.

Trust has become a tool that liars will make use of
I have learnt from my travels that all mankind's the same
we will promise the earth if earth was our kingdom
as long as that kingdom was written our name.

Now autumn is here and winters fast approaching
yet still my searching reaches into the night
for a feeling or a moment that can be treasured forever
and fulfilment be mine in a world full of light.
