Your Absence Tears

A poem about an empty relationship.

Your Absence Tears

My heart wanted to run free with

you by the sea without a care,

to feel the fresh salty wind brush

over my body and through my hair.

 

Running my fingers through your

wavy hair as we kissed would

have been my lung’s air.

I keep yearning to hear your

feet climbing my stairs,

but they are never there.

 

I’m tired of waiting I want to run free

with someone who is never there,

Your hands are there to touch another,

they can’t touch my hair.

 

Your eyes can’t see all the

varied pigments in mine when I stare.

I love you and my heart

skips when I think of you,

but your absence tears.

 

 

Author's Note

Love triangles are never good. This poem reflects the lost feelings one's feels when in one.

[ChloeKirk]

Your word choice fits the mood of the poem perfectly.

I would like to have written a nice review
of this excellent poem, but
I get confused and anxious about something
when I read about broken affairs.
It is an excellent poem and this writer is
a gifted artist.
