Mathew Sturgeon Poet Rhyme

Missing You Hurts

I have this pain inside 
One I'm unable to control 
It's a longing for you 
Radiating from deep in my soul 

This being away from you 
Fills me up with misery 
I despise not being there 
It takes a toll on you and me 

This longing has become painful 
It haunts me as if it's a ghost 
I should be holding you 
And that's what hurts the most 

This isn't what we planned 
Spending our marriage apart 
And even though it's temporary 
It doesn't ease the pain in my heart 

For this pain to go away 
Our time apart must end 
Finally coming home to you
Will let our aching hearts mend
