The Ultimate

The anti climactic feel is palpable
We try to move along but ultimately, we are just going in circles..
Loneliness is not born of being alone
Loneliness is born of feeling alone
Feeling as though there is no one who understands
No one who can truly relate
No one who feels exactly what you(I) feel 
No one who cares enough to even try to relate
And even the effort, what little is offered, is not enough
If your life has soiled you, left you less in the eyes of others
Dirtied by the detritus of life
Maybe on some small level, you can relate.
All we want is love
If not from a mate, at least from some soul who appreciates and reciprocates your care for them
Be it blood or friend, two legged or four
We want a place to belong, someone to belong with and someone who belongs with us
A linkage of lineage
A place in the chain of life
Somewhere where we matter, where our sacrifices matter
Where our choices to 
Do good 
Protect the innocent and 
Be honorable
Matter
Apparently, that place is not here
Perhaps it is not on this plane
How does one skip to the next?
