missing you

the tug at my heart
bore a small hole
couldn’t find
the plug
to control
the weeping
seeping
had no pain
had no shield
to avoid
the continual rain
i missed you
you hadn’t left the room
knowing ……..leaving
and distance
doesn’t change a thing
ties
bonds
keep each near
smile
let me hear you laugh
so that
ease surrounds me
smile
1 more time
that i may sleep
with that in mind
