Useless Without Love
As I expand my mind to envision
Myself enjoying riches
I find myself aborting the mission
Without you to partake
The feeling to be successful goes away
I guess it truly is lonely at the top
And though I’m not really widely known
I can see it clearly as if I am a king sitting on a throne
And having the material success means little without you
In my mind I’ve been down every path
Is lonely as f*ck without anyone to bond with and procreate
Family game nights
Someone to cuddle and hold tight
But I hear there’s no cash no ass
No finance no romance
What the f*ck where’s the love
I want to keep the family together
I want to wake up next to you
Go to sleep with you
And no we don’t have to do anything at all
Even though I may want to pin you against the wall
Alas the other side of the bed is empty
There’s no one by my side
No kids No texts No phone calls
Just me and these hollow walls
All these material gains that a poor man can think of
It’s kind of useless without someone to love
About this poem
I had written this poem because after performing a visualization, one in which I imagine living a life filled with material success, I envisioned myself but I had others whom I wanted to enjoy the success with also. Yet, because presently I am single or without the woman in my life, envisioning myself enjoying the riches seemed futile.
