The shortest poem I know is a name

The shortest poem I know is a name, 
Not known by its look, 
Or it's fame. 
An unexceptional combination of letters, 
A cold flame, 
Bloody scattered. 
The shortest poem I know is a name, 
Enough to make happiness, 
Writhe in pain. 
The shortest poem I know, 
Is a stranger i once knew, 
Not remembered by his fame, 
But his bittersweet name
