The Wants And The Can't Haves

Home Is Love

By Errol McNeill Published 5 years ago 1 min read

....Now and again, I find myself

breathless; and lost with no sense of self.

I fuss and I fight but sadly, it never fails.

Intentions although divine is nothing short of hell.

My desires fueled by mutuality so pure.

I tell myself

over and over again--

no but sure.

Let's be real! I can't fake the funk

I love what I love I don't need any punks

from the other side of the lawn.

I can't help but wonder, how good he is, up under and over...

ok, I'm over it; the whole concept I'll never really grasp.

...How can a man really love what he can't have?

About the Creator

Errol McNeill

I may be just a foolish dreamer

But I don't care

'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere

I'm searching for that silver lining

Horizons that I've never seen

I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream

-L.Richie
