The Search
i searched through too many lovers
too many friends
too many beds
too many poems,
and too many threads
always clinging on too tight
listening to ever word that was said
but day or night
the answers always felt out to sea
something out there
but alien to me
i searched through too my heads
and it is hard to justify
when you know the past is dead
there is no special answer
but hope is so easily lead
too many friends
too many loves
an excursion into empty space
from under the frightened covers
