Saddest Poem This Month

Will I ever find you?

Yes.
You’ll find me
Not all at once
But in every moment you meet someone
You’ll catch yet another clue
As you build me from your inside out
So I’m forever there
And you’ll never be lonely

Poor dear you

You’ll be lonely all the time
Always
Empty as you fill up with things you’ll never touch
And you’ll walk cold in your coat
The ghost of your breath vanishing as it flees
your mouth
Unkissed
Speaking a name that forever changes
