Missing You

No one can feel what I feel inside
I’m missing you and cannot hide
When will I see the sun that shines? 
When can I say that you are mine?
My stomach aches, but I’m not ill
My heart is racing, but there is no thrill
My legs go weak and I don’t know why
I’m missing you and I’m going to cry
The thought of you that makes me grin
That sinking feeling that comes within
I’m falling fast in that pit below
I’m missing you and you don’t know

Such a wonderful poem once again...I feel the heartache, the loneliness, the distress, the missing someone lament. I can sympathize with all of these articulate lines. Such applausable (if that's even a word) lines in this verse. You are not alone, you are not a failure, and you are strong. -Always, David B.
