When You Are Not Here



my heart cries for you.
I feel torn apart. when you are
not here. you monolopize
my thoughts. even now.

my eyes weep for you.
the tears are warm upon
my face. when I close my eyes,
I see you here.

my heart aches for you.
emotion strangles me. I
am lost with out you.
I long to be in your
loving arms, knowing you
will never let me go...
