Link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry.
She pulls away when I kiss her. And she treats me like a stray dog. I fell asleep, and she retired to the box springs alone. I suck at good byes. It's only a couple of days, I know. It still sucks. She's going to Missouri to get some things from her Moms'. She's a f*****g nut. A break will do us good, but I'll still miss her.
What a lovely little poem about separtation.
I don't know if it's about a proper separation, or just being apart for a few days, but either way, I think it's a really lovely perspective to show a man feeling a bit vulnerable about being away from the woman he loves. We're getting better at this as a society, but I think men sometimes feel a bit nervous about showing their true feelings, especially when they're so sweet. So to have a poem like this--- written from a man's perspective, and by a man--- showing such heart is a glorious little blessing.
Well done :)
Sometimes love is not enough! Best out of a relationship which is no longer viable. Yes, we miss the other half of ourselves, but... It's better to miss someone than spend a life sentence with them, a prisoner of love. Great write! Thank you for sharing, Thomas...
Can so relate to this. In the 31 year I've been wed we have never spent more than 1 week apart at any given time, tis like I have a limb missing when we are not side by side

Missing someone does not depend upon them deserving it or how great they are it depends upon the one missing them. A great write that pokes at that need we all have to be with someone.
