Absence

I don’t think you understand.

You’re more than life.

You are my light.

Though you never take my hand.



I think you know this need inside.

You take my breath.

Forgoing death.

When really, I have died.



I believe, alone, in you.

You say the words.

Capture my world.

Stealing me with what you do.



Yet, I can’t believe, endure this pain.

You’ll never be there.

Absence, I can’t bear.

And you slowly drive me insane.



(But I still love you.)
