I should have dated losers

I should have 
dated losers

people 
who would eventually
slip through the cracks
into near or complete 
oblivion

who wouldn't turn up 
in newspapers 
unless arrested 
or in death notices
read by no one 
but those waiting 
to die

who would disappear
even from memory
face forgotten
footprints erased
invisible

as if - unlike you -
they never were.
