unfinished poem

I made the mistake
Of visiting
An old, unfinished poem:

“Just lend me a few words -
I only need a few words to get through this…”

“I can’t” – i said -
“You know it’s not a matter of a few words…”
“I have to go…”

“…Just a few words…that’s all I need…”

”I’m sorry..no…”

“why the hell do you keep coming back then…
...get out…”

Back on the street, I think:

“Why do I keep going back?"

"Why is it so hard to let go
of unfinished poems?"

Why?
