A PIECE OF ME IS MISSING

The unsaid words make me bleed in and out,
The pain of not seeing you everyday
The blank space expands, the pressure intensifies!
Hiding the truth, I raise my hope
Consoling myself, counting days like to catch the thief;
I will be alright when I hold him tight.

Though I would want to hold you
Close to my heart in my arms tonight,
The impossibility thickens the fog
If not your face, I see no one
If not your smile, I see grave darkness
If not your breath, I feel pins and needles.

Facts light up,
I will be his soon, he will be mine later
The fulfillment of scriptures, the vows we once made.
I love him more and I say so,
A lot left to and with us.
I miss him, yes I do
A day away is like 1000 years in hell
So I avoid taking the narrow way,
Keeping it all to myself.

I would want to write it on his heart,
Ownership claimed, a place secured
That no one messes up with my man.
In permanent ink, I would want to write him a note,
Saying, “I miss you my heart lock”
For him to read and never forget
How much I love and want him.
