Disconnected

Disconnected
Unaffected
Missing parts of me
Unplugged
Thwarted
Wishing just to be
Every part
Of my heart
Wants to feel
I belong
But you are
Long gone
I am still
Penny wish
Wanting to
Believe that
You’ll be back
Never left
Unimpressed
Forgive I
All your lies
Bitterness
Tears I cried
Failed tries
Punishing
All of me
Still seeking
To be free
Rootless
Fruitless
My truth is
Want of roots
To be part
Driving need
Making we
From just me
Feeling sad
Left for dead
Left nothing
Pain and weeds
Time please
Make me
Priority
Keeping faith
Linking chains
Making change
You and I
Side by side
Connected
In this life
