There is one thing I want in this life.

The one thing that has everything

The one thing that has everyone

The one thing that means you're living

The one thing that means you're feeling

The one thing that means you're human

The one thing that makes everything worthwhile

The one thing that brings excruciating pain

The one thing that brings heart wrenching devastation

The one thing that causes backstabbing betrayal.

But it's the one thing that brings happiness in every waking hour

The one that gives laughter its taste

The one thing that gives you hope in something better

The one thing that gives you faith in something real

All of these things are consumed by one word

And that one word is what I want to consume all of me

Love.

I love this piece because I had put a lot of thought into it, but once I put pen to paper it all just flowed so easily.
