I am looking for something
to fill the hole
that was left
so recently
so permanently
upon her departure.
I am looking
for something to live for.

I am searching
for the first time in a long time
for something to occupy me
someone to devote myself to
some way to go about my days
so that they’re worth enduring.
I am searching
for meaning.

I am hoping
to find purpose.
I am questing for a missing piece.
I am hunting for a solution
to eradicate this emptiness.

You can fix this.
You can complete me.
You can offer that which is needed
and I think you will
whether you know it or not
wish it or not
like it or not.

I
am in the market
for an enemy
an opponent
an adversary.
I am looking
for someone to shove.
You will be my target
until you’re ended
and I must again
begin my quest.
