Vapour
Imre Glaser
16 Feb 2003
I have searched.
Searched far and wide,
Looked, explored, pondered.
Looking for my wholeness
Hunting for completion.
Thought that I had found completion
Yet had only found
Hurt, misery, and pain
My only solace was disparagement
Pessimism was my friend,
Cynicism was my comfort.
I thought I had found it.
The secret to happiness:
Solitude
Then she walked into my life.
I tried to ignore
The feelings brewing up inside of me.
I had build a wall out of distrust
Pain, suffering, pessimism.
No one was able to break the wall down
Strong as steel,
Solid as rock,
Tall as mountains.
Impenetrable.
Then, with one word,
The wall came crashing down
Years of hate:
Dust
Thousands of cynical thoughts:
Vaporized.
I tried to resist,
I tried to remember the pain
But all I could see is sunshine.
Now, I feel defenseless.
The fort has been breached,
The soldiers dropped their arms
And surrendered
To this foreign feeling of
Trust, happiness, and empathy.
Finally,
I am happy.
What happens now on
Is something that I leave to her.
All I know, and all I care
Is that with her,
Misery and despair leave.
All that's left is happiness.
