just a heads-up, it would be "you are missing from me" (&#8226;:

Irrespective the detail of language, I get it and every fibre of me reflects this state. You define the huge hole that is left beautifully

It can also be translated as: "I lack of you" kind of :) Lovely piece

I daresay that you got mixed up! Si tu parle le francais on dit: "Je te monques.". Translation: If you speak French, it is "Je te monques", literally: "I miss you." I believe that you'll hit it better next time :)

A brief but meaningful poem about being apart from someone we love and what that means. Like others I also noticed "witch"

Very nice work. As another poster pointed out in the second last line it should be &#8220;which&#8221; vs witch. We all make them.

Thank you for sharing!!

The cleverness, structure and wallop of your poem are all perfect.

Jay, You are not entirely correct. Tu me manques literally means You miss me. That's the reverse way of saying it. Yet, it's beautiful when you say it in French to someone that you love or care for. That's nice. Ce poeme est tres joli comme Angelina Jolie.

If two people truly love each other they are together even when apart so "you are missing from me" would truly be a misnomer.  Contrarily "I miss you" would mean you are missing from my vicinity which would indeed be the truth of the situation.  
PS: In your penultimate line the word you used for which means an actual witch, as opposed to the correct word for the situation which is spelled which.  Unless of course you are an actual witch.  I only mention this because my best friend's widow is a Wiccan.  Do with it as you will.
