My heart yearns for the one who’ll complete

this emptiness, leaving me whole and replete

with joy and love that no material gain

could ever match or hope to sustain.

I’ve tried to fill the void with cars so sleek,

with makeup and children, but all they could speak

was of fleeting pleasures that soon fade away,

leaving me wanting and empty each day.

So now I wait and hope for the one

whose love will shine like the bright sun,

filling my heart with a warmth so true,

making me whole, making me anew.
