My Santiago

Searching for the next hit

We are all searching for that next hit, That better version of the person we see ourselves with, But me, I choose the one I’m with;

I’ll take my stand, And say, “This is it, Far enough and good enough for me”

We are all searching for the new love of our life, The next stage in life’s prize,

With one who is newer, Just as you as you were, Some - not so long – ago – time; Hoping that this makes us

somehow -

-

Happier, better, Equipped with certainty.

But it does not! We are instead scathed, scorched, Ripped apart and torched, To the very soul, Leaving us with less than nothing, Further back even than when we started all this, But with so little time ahead To right the ship.

No! Better stay and take the stand, And grow the life Together,

Giving meaning to the very end!
