Yasmine Cherkaoui Poet Free verse

Home

A blank page,
A blank mind,

My thoughts consumed by one thing…
You.

I tried burying myself in organising,
And even then you pop up everywhere,
It’s like my brain won’t stop,
I can’t do anything without you,
Or so it seems.

I’m shaking just thinking about losing you,
But yet there’s a peace in me,
I know you’ll be fine,
I know you’ll come back,
I know…

I don’t know,
I’m convincing myself of what I know,
But I don’t believe it,
Not until you’re safe and sound in front of me.

So for the love of god,
Just come home
