The Answers Remain Unknown

The Answers Remain Unknown

A Poem by butterfly

How long must I remain alone
The answer is unknown
I flown far from home
To visit my loved one eternally in the black hole
Only a plaque remains to saw here is what stays
I wish for the key to unlock the door to reunite with this parted soul
Do you know I am here
I came so far
Everything is still so hard, father dear
All these men breaking my heart
They want to kiss and hold me close
Without making me their home
How long must i remain alone
The answer is unknown
The surrounding that is a temporary home is retro
stuck between the old and the new
A corded phone but an app tv for me and you
A hotel room for two
Yet its not the two of my lover's dreams
Its just me and my mama you see
how long must i walk along with the lonely
Why do men text and then vanish
Stay with the same routine
Playing a game making me feel the mean
I will never know
all the answers remain unknown
how long must i remain alone
with or without a car
life on earth is expensive
how did we allow it to get so
God did not create earth to be a market place
The arriving passengers crowd around the carousel blocking the path
Why Burbank and hollywood is it always like that
Humans hold on to ways of old
Yet they dont serve like before
The answers remain unknown
Forward on I go.

Hi Chris it is exactly that a conversation between a daughter and departed father in the season of Halloween/Day of the dead...true better to be alone but not easy. Thanks for the review!!

I got the feeling here of a daughter having a conversation with her departed father about the state of her love life. Being alone when you would rather be one of a pair. Poignant words but I would say better be alone than being with the wrong one. Sometimes we just have to be patient. Not easy.
