Rory Galbraith Poet Prose Poetry

For Want of a Hug

Can a life be forfeit
snuffed out
for want of a hug
a need so simple
yet so powerful
that its absence creates 
a crushing void
that only a hug can fill 
a screaming aloneness
that only a hug can silence
and so
for want of a hug
I have chosen
to no longer be here
rendering that crushing void
that screaming aloneness
powerless
of no account
so yes
a life can be forfeit
snuffed out
for want of a hug.
