Trying

I don’t know what time it is
I just that know enough has passed since I saw you,
Talked,
Touched the valleys of your face, your rough face. 

I don’t know if I can live like this
I just know that I can no longer hear you shouting,
Crying,
Telling me I haven’t changed, changed at all. 

I don’t know how to manage the emptiness,
I just know that it feels like body deprived of food,
Hungry,
Stomach aching to hold you again, hold you one more time.

I don’t know if things will stay like this,
I just know that I cannot lose hope,
Die,
Because when you return finally, I want to be human for you.
