Not Giving Up

my darling pretty
you disappeared
without a trace.
i don't know what to do,
so i filed a
Missing Persons Report
late last night.
i've had
persistant heartburn
since you went away.
people are telling me
to prepare for what's next...
well, what's next?
they say that we need to
start a search
for your body.
no.
i'm not giving up yet.
you're still out there.
somewhere.
