Found Nothing


I looked up to you, walked in every footprint
You pointed to....
I looked up to you, read every single book
You alluded to....

Where has my faith been taken?
Hate to think I was mistaken.
Laid my naivete at your feet,
Laid my naivete at your feet and found nothing!
Waited for wisdom and found nothing!
Waited for reason and found nothing....

I looked up to you, spoke in every tongue
That you asked....
I looked up to you, learned every lesson
That you tasked....

Where has my love been taken?
Hate to think I was forsaken!
Laid my heart at your feet,
Laid my heart at yuor feet and found nothing!
Waited for acceptance and found nothing!
Waited for reason and found nothing....

I didn't need to care, could have turned my back;
You needed to have me here to keep at bay the black.
I didn't need to remain, could have made my escape;
You coaxed me into staying to help keep you in shape
And found nothing!
I played my last card and found nothing!
I let down my guard and found nothing....

Why is it so hard to find something?
