There is an ache in my chest that will not fill.
I can only assume it is because you are missing from me.
I feel you as you are away.
Missing your voice.
And a life I have not known.
I find myself wondering if I am selfish.
If this life is meant for me,
Or if you are a beautiful fantasy.
Have I only dreamt of this warmth as yours?
Am I so deluded in my day dreams that I cannot see reality anymore?
You are missing from me.
And the loss is tangible.
I feel it with every heartbeat.
This pain.
This hole.
This ache.
Is this the emptiness of you?
Or the emptiness of me?
