The Only Need
Jun 9, 2025
A poem of loss
The only literature I need
Is the book with a single strand of her hair
Still pressed between its pages
The only furniture I need
Is the dining set I bought
To make dinners for her
The only music I need
Is the voice message
Where she says “I love you”
The only clothing I need
Is the shirt she bought me
To match her dress in summer
The only medicine I need
Is the spark of light
Shining out from her eyes
And
The only miracle
I need
And cannot find
Is
Whatever
Secret
Divine
Word or deed
Will bring
Her back
To me
