Desire Repeats

Frustrations in the highest degree,
Make me wonder why I am here—
Dredging along in a daily route
Taking me to places I have already been.
Seeing the same people
In repetitive alignment to this life I live
Within the span of a day and night.

To be with a woman like you
Gives the hope that shall never be held
Your heart can be no kinder,
Nor shall I shake your determination
To be loved by one—
And all I can say,
“I wish I could be the one.”
