A Better Lifeline

I grab onto an idea;

a thought, that perhaps

I might not be lonely

because of you.

But you

are a human

like me

and because I

am lonely I think

that perhaps you can save me,

& I hold on too hard.

But nature prevents us

from being perfect

for ourselves,

or for each other.

I must find

a better lifeline.

I must find,

for my hopes, and

for myself

a being, perfect

and immovable to nature.
