Love Poem: A Longing

A Longing

Hollow inside
It sounds shallow
Rain drops on rooftop
That noise must stop	
I squeeze it, otherwise.

Birds fly
Far over the sky
Who cares?
I can’t see anyway
But I pretend.

Everything dries up empty
My heart still bleeds
I wait, and puff
Till you come
And slash it.
