Poverty

I miss you.
Beneath the shadow where I belong,
I cannot reach for you
So I'm just humming a song
O, do you hear?
It's only right that you are not here.

I miss you.
The night is such a lonely place
And I'm so hidden away to be seen
Maybe some aimless thoughts can find ways
Of what love may mean.
