Where Did You Go

I wish you still lived in my bed
But you only live in my head 
Do you miss me 
Like I miss you?

I can’t sleep without imagining your lips 
But then the pretence slips 
And I’m all alone 
And you don’t pick up the phone

I need to learn to not feel empty without you
But right now I don’t know how to 
So I stare at the picture of us 
And try not to cuss

Because my love for you was so deep
That the ocean was jealous
Tears roll down my cheeks
Like they’ve been doing for the past few weeks 

And I think I can’t accept you’ve left
Because that would mean we’re finally done 
Because it might mean all I was to you was a little fun 
But you’ve up and run

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
