Longing

This longing
It hurts
Hurts like a punch to the stomach
A smack to the head

I can't avoid it because
It lives inside of me
And it's been there ever since you left
It's blossomed larger and larger
The longer you've been gone

And now I can't ignore it
It's clawing at my sanity
Gnawing on my trust

This hunger is driving me crazy
Hunger for you
For you to be here
For you to hold me in your arms
For you to need me
Like I've been needing you

The dull ache in my chest
It never disappears
I want this longing to leave
Just like you did
Not even a simple goodbye

its a nice one on longing, and yes it happens when someone leaves us we long for it more and when we know we have been left for ever, that starts driving us crazy. We want it to go and leave us at peace but in reality we cling to it hoping against hope.

liked the write :)

this is really sweet poem. longing maybe hard sometimes but it is harder to live without it. as much the love is as much the longing is harder..
