When I Wake

I look for you when I wake
I feel anxiety when you are gone
disappointed is my heart
you were not here all along

I search for you about
I see you in others
I feel empty  without
I envy all those lovers

Emptiness is so numbing
it takes away all hope
I dream of letting go
to undo the pain I show
