Unwritten Absence
Why don't I feel your absence?
A painful absence that should tear at my soul
Why don't I feel your absence?
A suffocating absence that should consume my breath
Why?
I reach out
Hoping to hold you
But my hands grasp at thin air
Leaving me lost and feeling small
Reminding me...
Unspoken words
Unwritten absence
Unexpressed thoughts
Are all I have
Because you aren't here.
