The Missing Piece
Eric Hoffman
How long have you sat there
staring at an empty page?
Trying to solve some conflict long gone anyway.
For all the love in the world
and reassuring hands that surround you
could never ease the absence of a sincere smile.
How long were you searching
for someone to save you when
your weakest moment came crashing down in seconds?
Could you find them through the weightless words
and shallow veils of intention?
Or is it only a fantasy you create?
