Can you tell me where I can find it?
That thing?
I do not know what to call it,
I do not know what it is.
But it is that something
I am missing
Something I am driven
beyond all rationality
something that I must find.
Someone told me that I might find it through God
but he either wasn't listening
or he was never there.
I found nothing to replace my nothing
and it left me emptier still.
I tried to find it through love
Another to complete me
and make me whole
But the empty part of me
shrieked like a demon
and it left me emptier still
So can you tell me where to find it?
This completion of me
Do you even know what to call it?
Or are you searching just as hard?
Running on that hedonic treadmill
Faster and faster.
Filling ourselves with instant gratification
Love, pleasure, sex
until we are exhausted. Spent.
And we are left emptier still.
