remember
the poem
that won't let go
is just about
perfect
in every
nuance
the essence
of you
now if
you could only
find the last
two lines
and send it
to the world
you may perhaps
carry on living
but the truth
won't come
it hangs
there
an easy reach
but just
outside
and you can't eat
or breathe
it's the reason
you wake up
and why you
go to sleep
I want to be that poem.

This poem contains within it a great idea and I like the way you expressed it with that last line. I am not sure how it relates to the theme of being "unfinished" but I do see the beauty you are expressing.
