materialize

So, here I stand
mentally preparing 
for this future unknown,
which I find in face.
 
When there was you, 
in my heart,
my life,
my arms,

I thought I knew just what,
this future might look like.
 
From this mess,
it has all become,
I have not a clue,

just what might materialize
before my very eyes,
in times yet to be seen.
 
Genie in that bottle,
grant me this wish,
deliver me from this evil.
 
Take me to a place,
where words have meaning,
where promises are promised,
and followed through to end.
 
Where love,
commitment
and conviction
reign supreme.
 
Take me to this place
I thought I had found,

and if no such place exists,
tease me no more,
with these dreams of mine,

that I may one day reach
such heavenly place,
while still earthly bound.
