Solitude.

To miss someone...
You feel as if a part of you is gone.
Like someone removed a limb in most vicious fashion.

To drink away my sadness, I couldn't bear the fact
that you are not near to comfort the tears.
Why would I want to mask an emotion,
an internal feeling so true.

I continue to watch the hours pass
and dwell upon my fears.
I cannot think for myself
let alone can I feel.

What have I gotten into,
this blurry whirling haze.
The defeat to have control
of everything I've made.

There is no song sad enough
no tear large enough
to portray the mess
I've now become

Why is love so hard
why is loss so long
When all I need is
your arms to hold me now.

I'll count the seconds
I'll count the days
I'll count every breath
until you're right here.

Return to me soon my love
This vacancy in my heart is all too real.
