Missing you-
Is not optional;
Can not be quelled though I try.
Attempt to drown it in alcohol,
**** the emotion with a pill,
Smoke a little to forget the pain-
Of being without you.

I just want to be near enough...
To hear your heart,
Smell your smell;
Be close to you and see those eyes which I dream of.

It hurts to be without you;
To know you're in the world but not in my world,
To feel this empty space where you are supposed to be.

My soul yearns for the chance to know your soul,
Longs for the opportunity to pair with you-
Match your cracks and crevices.

I want to be the patch that binds you,
The stitches that sew you tight together,
The person you dream of sleeping beside at night.

I want your warmth-
The feeling of your naked body pressed into mine in deep slumber;
The feeling of your naked body pressed into mine in deep passion-
The feeling of you.

This hope for us is strangling me,
Smothering me,
Burying me in a never ending want,
No- NEED
I feel consumed by the thought of you.
Your lips are the softest place to fall.
