Best Sorrylonging Poems


Life Long Gone

If my hunger held you over
there would be nothing you would need
you could dine on my desire
and be sated from the feed

If my words were strong enough 
you could be kept from the cold
I would wrap you in the verses
with the stories I have told

If my aching cleanses wrongs
redemption would be found
apologies and intentions
leave me tethered to the ground

If my sadness makes you real
then real you seem to be
I have a purpose urging
sadly longing to be free
