Persuaded to Post Poetry

Well, several other friends of mine have posted poetry on their blogs, so I have finally decided to follow suit and dust off one of my poems I wrote a few years ago that has never seen the light of day (I may pull out some of my OLD poems later):

It was running a few days late;

I couldn’t wait till it arrived.

Then the box finally came one day;

I grabbed it and hurried back inside.

It was my long-awaited “heart’s desire” -

The fulfillment I had always lacked.

For the next few weeks I was in heaven,

As I enjoyed this cure for emptiness.

But today I’m waiting once again -

The last one turned out to be a fake.

I’m hoping against hope that this new thing

Will satisfy my constant ache.

Why is it that things never satisfy?

My wish-list’s still just as long

Even after I’ve filled my life with stuff

That I thought would fill the void.

She and I, we felt that we

Were meant for each other

We’d laugh when we were together,

Because it covered up the need within.

That was months ago, now we’ve both moved on,

In search of a bigger and better thrill.

Our life together petered out,

Because we couldn’t keep each other filled.

Alone again, I feel the pain

- rising up from deep inside -

Of a life that’s been lived in vain,

I desperately seek again to try to find

For the record I never had a relationship like the one in the poem/song, but I have seen, heard about, and read about many such relationships and I thought it tied in well to the first part of the poem/song.

I thought about ending the poem with the fourth verse as kind of a chorus but I didn't get any farther than this. I also have no idea what I should title it :-P

So anyway, there's one of my poems - rough though it may be :-P Feedback or suggestions anyone?
