I cannot speak the words
to convey how much
I miss you.
That would
make it real.
Heart-slashing misery
has displaced
a sultry burn.
My thoughts are
still full of you,
craving just…
One…
word.
Through tears,
I see in the mirror,
an emptiness,
where there once was
a part of you.
My tears will never
fill that emptiness.
The void
will torture me
for as long as
you’re not there.
