Missing You

Missing you hurts
like an old infected wound 
or burnt lips under the desert sun

Missing you kills
 like a fish out of the sea
or a bird fallen off its safe nest from the top of a tall tree 

Missing you stretches
like the winter dark and frozen nights 
or a pregnancy that has gone terribly wrong

Missing you drains
Hope out of every and each second of life
It mocks me publically whenever I smile

Missing you goes deep
like an arrow thrown from a knight’s bow
it tears down the flesh till it reaches my bone

Missing you is hard
I am learning to live with the ghosts from the past
They chase me in darkness and stab me in the back when they’ve got a chance.

Missing you…
