There are nights where the cool breeze doesn't nourish me;
Darkness is all that lives within my heart and soul;
Because you took my shine away.
There are days I grow hungrier than a child on a desert,
Food doesn't satisfy me;
You are my food,
But you took that away from me.
I go prowling through the streets,
In search of your footprint,
Or a smell you left behind in the wake of your departure.
But I always come short.
A hollow is etched within me like the hollow of a thirsty earth,
And you are the only one who can fill the gaps
But you took that privilege away.
You left me empty like a pantaloon without its owner.
When the sun is couched in a peaceful shine,
And I am couched;
All I can think about is your hands gliding down my body.
But you took that away.
Whenever I look over across the couch,
I'm met with the never-ending smell you left behind,
And the heart-ripping memories we shared.
Whenever the heavens unfasten,
And a thunderous clap gloats the celestial world,
Just know that it is my voice,
Bellowing through the heavens
Calling out your name with a begging,
To come and take away the loneliness which suffocates me,
Because I miss you.
