Loneliness Is Pinging Poem by Nick Kler

Loneliness is pinging
To the same old address
The message keeps reappearing
Destination host unreachable

Heart keeps on beating
To the same old tune
Waiting for someone to reappear
From the darkness they disappeared

There is someone singing
Or is it just an illusion
Yet, I am forced to trust
As she sit besides my bed
I hold on to her arm
Before she disappears alone

I have fallen in love
Oh! As she lift up her heals
To wrap her arms around me neck
So gently, she kisses my lips

Who is she? Where is she?
This woman of my dreams
I don't even know her name
She appears at the stroke of dusk
She leaves again just before dawn

How would I ever find her?
How could I ever forget her?
In every beautiful face
I see a resemblence of her face

Every breath that I take
I breathe in her smell
I still taste her kiss upon my lips
I'm scared of breathing sometimes
Afraid, her smell might disappear
Within the shadows of time

I don't eat for days, sometimes
Scared, her taste might disappear
Inside my body, so frail
