I miss

the list

I miss
the light in your eyes
I miss
the breath of your sighs
I miss
the way we never were
I miss
the pot you made me stir
I miss
all the undone ties
I miss
all your little lies
I miss
the smell of you
I miss
what I never knew
I miss
the dream
the seam
unsplit.

Author's Note

don't read too much into this one. It is poetry, nothing more.

Mixing up reality with what if. Easy to miss such a fantasy. Now imagine missing something where the dream was real...

[Delmar Cooper]

I like the form, the repetition works well. Good, unexpected images.

[Lyn Anderson]

thank you. I appreciate that.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This is kinda funny but with a lesson, that we miss the little things the most and even the things that annoyed us when that person was around.

[Lyn Anderson]

yes, ehem, I was being a little tongue in cheek too - Kind of like "I Hate Everything about YOU" by Three Days Grace.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is a cool song… Ugly Kid Joe has a song by the same title that I love as well.

[Frieda P]

Hmmm this one is poetry so, what are all the rest? There are days we're befuddled about our true emotions, you're only human, right? ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Ahh, I know, I just didn't want to give a false impression of me pining away here.:)

[Frieda P]

Gotcha ya crazy chick. ;-)

[Caradoc]

This makes me think of marriage and that whole "for better or for worse" part of the vows.

Nicely done though. I like the repetition of the title.

That is kind of what it is about, although a little darker, like "Don't Ever Leave me Alone" by Smile, Empty Soul

[jacob erin-cilberto]

missing the good and the bad...we realize after we split up with someone, that even though there were those things that annoyed us about that person...we really could have put up with them, because the good outweighed the bad...but we learn way too late.

[Lyn Anderson]

Sometimes yes, and sometimes, we just miss being mistreated because it's what we were used to. Doesn't mean it's smart.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well nice poetry KL.We still do tend to miss things, even bad things because we have gotten so used to them :)

[Lyn Anderson]

That is it exactly.
