Pinpoint

It's hard to pinpoint a feeling
It's hard to explain a thought
I know so much and so little
Sometimes this is the last resort
An explanation of what is happening
Instructions to explain what I am
I attempt to unravel my mystery
Even if I don't think that can.

The pieces are fitting together
The puzzle now taking shape
Yet somehow I keep on reflecting
On all of my recent mistakes
I see what I want in the future
The immediate goal is so near
But i can still see all of the wreckage
That I caused in the previous year.

I don't understand why I need you
Is it really necessary to,
Have a partner who's not unconditional
Who is yours when it fits with her mood
It's somewhat exaggerated really
I know that's not how it is
Yet I feel like disposable wrapping
Recycled milk bottle lid.

I'm filling a space, as are you
I guess we are using each other
I know it's not in my plan
But I still want happy ever after
I don't want to waste my time,
Be meaningless and chug along
I need real love or real friendship
Not this ticking time bomb.

Well written, you kept me the whole time. Not only that, but I'm able to draw my own meaning from this, as you're supposed to do with art. But I'm not usually touched by poetry, and that shows that this is pretty damn good. 75.
