Wish You Were Here

a poem about missing a loved one

I don’t think you understand

 how much everything changed after you left

And sometimes everything feels cold,

 everything feels blank,

 and all the colors I can see fade away

And I do nothing but wish you were here

And my heart is breaking in such a subtle way

So far underneath what everyone else can see

Some days,

I’ll fall apart with a straight face,

at the sight of your name

and I’ll see myself falling deeper and deeper into the dark

and I can’t stop it, I can’t avoid it

I’m slipping on loose rocks, falling into everything I am not

And I do nothing but wish you were here

And my face was like a painting smeared after all the rain

Not recognized, disguised, made up of lies

Hung in a museum, claimed as art,

But it was just a mess,

something thrown together with one second left

wishing you were here to see my pain

wishing I could hear you say my name

wish you could lecture me after every mistake

just a moment to heal

that’s never enough time

just a moment to tape up a broken frame

that’s never enough time

don’t you know, it wasn’t enough time

it’ll never be enough time I fear

when I do nothing but wish you were here

I like your writing. You have a lot to get out there. You are a little heart sick and it clearly shows. You are an emotional one too arent you? :0)

I do think you should add an appropriate image or pic to each write. It helps the reader to better understand your feelings.
