A Century of Sonnets...Life in the Fast Lane: Sonnet 5

Longings Unfulfilled

These longings that I have go unfulfilled.
The pain runs deep; the scars won’t seem to heal.
Such mental grief; it makes me feel unskilled
and robs me of my peace and steals my zeal.
I wish I knew the magic of appeal,
or what it took to tell it where to go,
or how to work the sealing of the deal.
So many things I seek, yet still don’t know.
I spin my wheels but have nothing to show;
I put myself through torture – and for what?
The games that people play as if I’m slow
hurt the most; they breach the bonds of trust.
So here I stand alone and feeling lost,
still longing for while wondering at what cost?
