2000 Miles Away

Pretty self-explanatory; I'm a mess.

The week begins, a subtle promise 

Or a chance to fall again

My eyes tear around, searching

When I realise you're gone

Another smile I will feign.

They say you're two thousand miles away

And the room starts to fade

The physical kicks in, heaving

The ache I had forgotten

Oh, the price left unpaid. 

Even though we're apart now

In every sense of the word

Escape for some air, breathe

I become every cliché

My ears have ever heard. 

A mere three days have passed 

Feels as long as the months I've been alone

I miss your smile, your touch

Times like these make me realise

I've become nothing but your clone.

Really feeling the passion here. "I become every cliche/ My ears have heard." Very real feeling-- I mean like a confessional, very honest sounding. Makes your words strong.

This is really good, the concept is easy to relate to and your writing flows well.

Resentful of being in love, but by the end surrendered to it? Thats my take. Interesting, your work isn't predictable or 2D, and they serve as a very good window into your life.
