Absence Make the Heart Grow Weaker

Each day I don’t see you Is another stab to my heart Another piece taken away From my weakening heart I want you so bad It kills me to think about you I guess im suicidal Because I just cant stop I want to be with you At this very moment I want you next to me I want to hear your voice Is it so sad That I want you so bad Or is this just love?

I like how you turn the original phrase on it's head. In fact I like debunking the happy go lucky attributes that society assigns to people in love. I for one have no idea what love is but I tend to gravitate more to darker poetry that asks the question like yours does. It's hard to tell if this is a permanent absence (ie the title) but I'll guess that it is. Very nicely done.
