Cry and Seek

The man with the hole in his heart

searches the faces in the crowd

For a love left behind

cause they were too young

Vainly seeks to reconnect

with a life that could have been

Clicks on an inviting link,

Scans the social network

So many identities out there,

but not the one he desires

The ghost enhanced by memory

Lost in the murky haze of time  

Forever eluding his search engine

The romance scavenger

Can’t disconnect from the past

So hard to turn off 

yesterday gone

When will he realize

That it’s time to move on?
