Julia Brown Badr Poet Free verse

Missing You

Missing you
Longing for you
Is slowly destroying me.
poison seeping into my heart.

I feel too much
And know too little
It is slowly killing me
Though it should not

My heart is over ruling
My head this time
Leading me down
Paths I must no travel

Leaving me bereft of courage
Filling me instead with doubt
Of my own ability
To recover
To let go and possibly
Move on.
