Missed

I am sorry that you missed me
I have been to the world
And many days, it was you I thought i found
In the many eyes of strangers encountered

I was in the east
I walked out beaten and broken
I also made it to the west
I wrote poems laced in agony

I am sorry that
Perhaps each dusk you stood
And watched in despair for a returning shadow
That never became a reality

I am sorry that you looked for a friend
And the friend was nowhere to be found
You looked for comfort
In the dessert like arid friendship

I am sorry you missed me
I am sorry you missed me
I did not miss you
you did not miss me
