Love Poem: The Other Side

The Other Side

I found Hell on the other side of you 
a moment without you
leaves me gasping for air
...but you are my air
Fill my lungs again
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you
I sleep on the floor because 
the bed was made for two; us
In a constant falling dream
just wishing to hit the ground
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you 
Every waking hour
Every second of everyday
I’m on my knees
Begging for you 
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you 
My pillow brings no relief
Where have you gone 
I even beg for you 
in my dreams
Come back…
I found Hell on the other side of you 
Which begs the question what did you find
on the other side of me?
