Absence

When your gone

I feel it all around me

like the walls whisper your name

and praise

my heart lingers on yearning

through the night

my dreams all capture your face

the faint ghostly touch of your hand

sends chills up my spine

and my body aches until its

graced by your presence

I hate time

and how it plays tricks on our

minds withering in the absent

cold weather distance creates

I've learned I cant live a day

happily without you

around every corner I see your face

haunted and displaced

Please can you promise me just one thing?

Next time you go

Dont leave without me
