Echoes...

Ernie, Andy, Flaxman, Megu,
All each have a special beau.
Whilst I dwell in silence and quiet,
My mind a definite riot.

I watch them, for them I feel joy.
All so happy, as a child with a toy.
Happy for them, that I am.
To help them stay happy, I do what I can.

Justin, Ashleigh, Cameron, Erin,
None have lives that are barren.
All full of life, happy and free.
Only in dreams is it for me.

Could it be so? For what does it matter?
Kill for them I would, so that they would be the sadder
By the woes of life
And the actions of strife.

An echo of silence, that is all.
And within it, my own downfall.
Sitting, thinking, plotting, scheming.
But most of all, dreaming.

Stay positive, that I do.
And with it, one day a heart found true
May be mine one day, I'll never know.
Until then, I think I'll watch me a TV show.

I do what I can and do what I will.
But still.
It isn't life without love.
But one day, I'll find my special dove.
