Wait
How long does it take to live
Down a past for which I grieve?
Would it be better to give
Back my gift of life and leave
This fight? Would God then forgive
My desertion we believe
To be murder even though
It is my own life I take
Having made the choice to go?
Is this a choice I can make?
How much is enough at last?
Everyone speaks of the now
But the future frightens and
I cannot escape the past
My now is a no-man's-land
State of suspension somehow
Between being bound and free
I am ready to die but
Frozen by my fear of what
Has been is and is to be
Since only one knows my fate
I will trust in God ...and wait

Taking your life is never the answer. You have so much to offer this world and what you seek may lie just ahead. I believe that the love for which you seek is out there for you. Just don't look for her in the wrong places. Find a real woman who can love you for real. Your poetry is as always well written and touching.
Take care friend

Stay strong my friend...and wait...I know the feeling...been there...but SOMETHING or a higher power...is holding me back each time my thoughts are dark!!
