I miss you, of courseA Poem by Sally Sparrow
You are gone, and it's really, actually dark out now.
Not like the soft evening glow just a moment ago when you were here. I miss you, of course. But I am sad and disappointed. I was so glad to see you, so happy to feel your touch. Why am I so sad? I can't help but listen to this sad song over, and over, and over... Why does it hurt so bad when you are gone? Why can't I just be happy to be with you? Why does my heart ache for you at night when I am alone with the dark? I want to feel your warmth, but if I get too close, I know I will be burned. But I just can't help wanting you here. Tears well up in my eyes because it just hurts so badly. My chest feels tight, my toes are stone cold. Please come back. Don't leave me here. Don't try to pull that again, because I will save you this time.
