void by design, abyss, weakness or chasm?
desire for more drowned by weighted expectation
what do i want above all, beyond even this?
there is You, and that much i know
only You i require, for only You do i ache?
the pull is strong and my heart is stretched,
constant war with mind and flesh.
but after the battle, when my heart is Yours,
is there more that I was created for?
that which You’ve gifted, is it too what i need?
peace and joy, hope to the end
satisfaction in You alone is found
but what of the rest; life with another?
is this a fake substitute from a weakened desire?
You alone to satisfy, but You make us require
absence of nourishment in our stomachs to eat,
privation of rest to be quenched with sleep
inadequacy of life to be filled up with You.
is there a wanting hole left inside each too
designed from the start as an ulterior need
for another to provide the other part
to meet a secondary longing in every heart?
so is this the equation of sensible reason?
to ache for another without pledging treason?
or is this just chaos to acquit me from guilt
in taking from others what You should impart?
