My Sad, Little, Found Poem

Paint me a picture-- 
things you remember, 
things you regret, 
things you miss. 
As if they are all ashes 
of blissful memories. 
Memories, you want 
desperately to cling to. 

Tell me a tale of solitude. 
All in your life is moving 
and you're standing still. 
The rest of the world- 
in warp speed. 

I want you to tell me 
how it feels. 
Make me relate. 
Make it real. 

If you can make me cry... 
that would be great. 

The hardest thing in life 
is to want desperately 
to cry, but not have, 
in you, the strength 
to tear up.
