I Miss

I miss the remedies of our past selves,
I miss the extract of blight from the tip of your lips.
I miss your abstract sunrise tumbling down your shoulders,
I miss the offset emeralds looking outward.
I miss our blaze that once caught the world on fire,
I miss the passionate extremities of our youth.
I miss the quite afterthoughts of the nights spent together,
I miss the way you removed me from my paradox.
I miss our alikeness, our kindled spirit,
I missed your final words.
I miss,
I missed.

Hi Aaron, I like poems that use a repetitive format like this. I loved the line: I miss the quite afterthoughts of the nights spent together. I wish you all the best with your writing and schooling. JP

It's basically to be abstract to let the reader make of it what they think/feel. Thank you and glad to be aboard!
