ex lover

Ive missed your kiss

the way it sends shivers through my lips

a chill that exist somewhere between my chest

i missed the way you smelled

and the crazy antics that gave me bliss

however now when we embrace i start to feel sick

i miss you

so deeply ive become frightened of you

that heart break that left me at the tip

the edge ready to plunge

ive stepped back

walked away from that cliff

and i dont believe i ever want to go back

what is it in you that drives me to this

something between love and lust

passion and patience

Have I grown in  this distance

have i become stronger to battle against the winds that once pushed me so close to the edge

lovers come in dozens

each begging for a taste of my lips

but i crave something more

something you once were able to give

but can you give more

have you grown through our distance

I used to hope that wed find each other again

find home once more rib to rib

yet my mind keeps telling me to resist.

Lovely poem! The emotion is encapsulated perfectly, and the desires can be heard screaming. I too know the feeling of being deprived of affection and wanting more from somebody I can no longer have. Great work! :)
