Airless

Do you know I miss you?

I try not to think about it too much

But sometimes at night

When the house is quiet and dark

The sadness creeps in

And I can’t breathe

Sometimes when the house is quiet and dark

I can feel you close to me

I can see how you once were

And I can’t breathe

 

Do you know I loved you?

I try to push these thoughts away

But sometimes in the morning

When the house is filled with sunshine

The heartache begins

And I can’t breathe

Sometimes in the morning

When the house is filled with sunshine

I can picture us together

You were laughing at my joke

And I can’t breathe

 

When did my world become airless?

Is it only because I am choking on my tears?

Or is it because of what I might reveal

I would give anything

To breathe the air you breathed

To feel the warmth of the sunshine

To be soothed by the darkness of the night

It’s hard to breathe in a life that’s airless

I can’t breathe in a life without you.

really a nice poem, longing and waiting make such good material for sorrow and help plant the seeds of reunion, thanks for sharing.

[Samuel Dickens]

To have felt that much love and desire for someone in a romantic way is exceptional. I wonder--is this truth or fiction? Sam
