Abscence

they say abscence makes the heart grow fonder...

I had memorized the

lines around your eyes.

I knew every sign screaming

you had a secret inside.

But now for the life of me,

I can't bring to mind

what it felt like to have my hair brushed

with your undeciding sigh.

 

What's happened between us

that made you a distant memory?

You were my greatest discovery,

how could I forget so easy?

All the letters we wrote

still hide underneath my bed.

When I read I can't remember the way

your lips moved with the words you said.

 

Abscence makes the heart grow fonder,

but my heart can't hold on much longer.

 

I know you had to go away for awhile,

but I need just a little taste of you.

Just a bit to fill me up again

with that deep burning that feels so good.

You can't give me anything,

you've let yourself go far away.

You needed to heal your body, heal your mind.

and you knew I'd be counting the days.

 

You told me you'd come back to me in dreams,

in the dark I have to call those lost pictures in my brain.

I have to force my body to paint the pictures on my eyes.

They keep getting fainter, keep making me more insane.

I need something fresh, I need something new.

Darling just please for one night make yourself appear.

Even if I only gaze, it'll be enough.

For a few more nights, I'll hold the moments dear.

 

I'm tearing up the floors because I keep pacing on them.

Your heartbeat used to sound so much like the constant rhythm.

I like the way it seems like they just went away but then I get this feeling that they are deceased really describes the way that some people may feel in a situation like this, it put a image in my head of someone begging for a sign. A very good read and poem. You have talent.
