ramble

Mysteries abound
in the universe
I have stood in
the path of an oncoming
storm, let the warm
rains waters caress me
hold my heart
my spirit
my soul
felt whole with
something not held
been felled by
the words of another
taken to heart
the thoughts of
one who'd be my lover
my sin
my dreams made real
only to find
that all she'd feel
she'd feel for another
silly stupid childish games
we'd scream our names
out for each other
and cry
and I would know
her true self
and in doing so
be all her wealth
and all her heart
and all her soul
and now the storms
rain waters are cold
and I am broken
and battered
to know that in the end
I didn't matter
and she found
another to share her wealth
of love and joy
and all I can do now is wish
I was someone else
and not this 
sad disillusioned
man left to cry
and then...
then...
I'd not have to wonder
...why?
