un-found –

not lost –

the difference in the

absence of belonging… 

longing for –

that which you cannot have –

smile returned,

touch received,

void filled… 

alone –

i was –

before i thought you found me,

long before i dreamed you –

cared,

believed… 

how easy to release –

it seems,

regardless how far the fall –

not even the absence of a net deters the craving… 

this lonely life – spent in the shadows,

eyes open,

scanning the horizon –

knees bent –

prayers sent –

all in vain! 

your footsteps echo down the corridor,

long passageway of lonely –

leading you away – 

from me –

all things good un-gravitate –

un-attach – 

leave me –

undefined,

un-entwined with life… 

need –

grasping at threads of hope –

a breeze merely blows away…
