Around the Corner

Where is that someone,
to hold me when I cry?
Someone to tell me everything is alright.
When all I want-
deep down
is to die.

Where is  that someone,
who hold me close to their heart?
One who has that comforting embrace-
that loving smile-
that heart of gold-
who promises never to partt.

Where is that someone,
with kind gentle words?
Someone with the softest touch,
to heal the wounds of a soul
and bury the unwanted thoughts.

Where is that someone,
who will help me to fly?
Releasing the past-
creating a future
and leaving behind
everything that means nothing.

I search for that someone,
as do most of us in this world.
What a journey it can be.
a long trek indeed.

Sometimes though-
what we want most,lies just ahead.
Right in front of us.

We all require a little love...a hand to hold us when we are down. You painted a picture that the reader was able to see vividly. I thought the poem was good. However, at the end it seemed a bit forced (last three lines). The poem was well constructed throughout until the end. Overall it was good.

This is great. I like the hopeful ending and how it comes just in the last few words of the last stanza.

This piece begins with such a forlorn note - one seeking something they feel missing, feeling that there is no reason to go on. It takes a turn at the end, no, not a turn so abrupt as to make everything sunshine and rainbows, but that there is that knowledge there, that sometimes life's journey can be rocky - and that, sometimes, what we have been seeking has been much closer than we thought.
