fitfully

I sleep

for your sudden absence

awakens me

every fifth moment or so

with your petulant demands of

'Melissa, Please Do Not Forget Me!'

which leaves me to ponder

deeply

and deeper still

how can I ever hope to fight

this incessant haunting

by the mere memory of you

you have become an overbearing weight

in my cracked heart

and I am quite powerless to oust you

you are butcher to all this hurt

who has unknowingly cut me up

into microscopic pieces of confusion

for news of your where abouts

I would strip myself of all pride

as payment for such knowledge

of your condition..............
