Find Me

All these hands, broken hands
They applaud me
But I keep falling in your path like a dead tree
All these feelings are lies, somehow they haunt me
As if they're waiting their turn to supplant me...supplant me
I'm a little boy between the great legs of giants
Whimpering and timid in my lack of defiance
And I prayed that you'd find me
And how I prayed that you'd find me
You're still waving at me in the distance
The shimmer glimmering half-hearted in resistance
Against the sorrow welling up in your eyes
I could help you, but you never bought my lies
I'm a big strong man between my ego and pride
Mourning now the little boy, who deep inside has died
But I hoped that you would find me
Good god I need you to find me
Hard not to watch as the sun hides you in its blinding embrace
Though I lose sight of your guidance, 'cause I'm shielding my face
And I'm stumbling right after you
But you're
Long
Gone
I'm a quivering mess to you
And you're not wrong
I'm an old man now, and my hair is all turned grey
My ego and my pride - age has sent them on their way
And now I know you won't find me
You will will never ever find me
I know you won't find me
You will never
Find me.

Thank you, Cherie. :(
Hi Jaime,
I've "found you". I've found your poem to be a beautiful write. Tear producing and thought engendering. Very well done.
Peace and Love,

You're a kind man, Larry. Thank you. Sobering thought processes and self-analysis, as well as unsullied self-honesty went into this....not a great write, in my own opinion, but as every poet understands, sometimes words are just not enough to convey the true, raw emotions felt within the hearts of men.
May both you and Cherie be blessed. <3
