I Miss You

I Miss You… Why dd you have to go so far? Couldn’t you have seen that which was near, sustaining us with the richness of your life instead of leaving us with a hollowness that grips our entire body leaving it halved— like the shell after the meat of the nut has been eaten— Empty What was it you wanted? Did you have to ask the question instead of accepting the answers all around you, drawing on them to fulfill your unquenchable need to know— staying awhile to sip and savor the drink at hand instead of gulping down the nectar; leaving the glass— Empty What did you find? Was it all you had hoped for; was it worth the sacrifice Or did you suddenly realize that the want was in the search and the search did not reward your curiosity, looking and finding nothing to warrant the fact that you are— Gone.
