Translucent understanding

Should I seek for the place of understanding?

Or do I remain in this place of the unknown?

Should I walk the walk to shed some light?

Or do I presume this light bulb has blown?

 

How do I go back to the beginning?

When the end was so unexpected?

I need the answers to my quest,

So I no longer feel dejected.

 

I try so hard to make sense of it all?

As I lay awake although the night,

But the message is clear, as I shed a tear,

So I have to turn off the light.

 

But then I feel there’s been no closure,

So I turn the light back on,

I gaze out the nightly window,

And I ask why this all went wrong?

 

How can I mend this hole in my heart?

When it’s been left with no needle and thread,

How can this be, why did you do this to me?

Words that were spoken; without being said.
