Lost For the Moment

Where are you?
Where did you go?
How can I make you return?

Are you with someone new?
Of me does she know?
Or how for you I yearn?

What should I do?
What is left to grow?
Why is it no longer my turn?

Has she asked who?
Does she speak slow?
Can she not learn?

Because we are stuck like glue
We share one shadow
And your love will someday return.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
