Love Poem: Thirsty

Thirsty

I never planned to be alone
Floating through forever without connections
I never thought I’d feel the cold
Of lofty fleeting unmeaningful moments

I never thought I’d feel adrift 
Speaking through dreams and whispers
There’s no replies to my thoughts 
I never thought I’d miss her

I was prepared for the night
When her soul would depart and body lay bare
My mind was strong and steady
While my heart just withered and despaired

Never did I want for a flicker
I’d take anything she’d left for me, I know
I’d grasp for the slightest semblance
For I knew my heart would never let go

I remember her vividly still
My life is frozen in a moment of tears
I just can’t let go
Of the possibility that her soul still exist
