Poem 13 — Truly Missing You

It was yesterday we
Laughed away old memories,
For a minute I wanted to believe
You stepped away for a breeze,
Now I cry about you,
Wishing I could bring you back,
Normal doesn’t feel right,
My life is way off track.
I tried to find closure in this,
But nothing makes sense,
The more I hear the phone and the news, I battle with stress and be tense.
I have searched everywhere,
Hoping to find you by mistake,
I didn’t even have the heart
To celebrate your birthday with cake.
I can’t bear the thought of settling with you to never return,
The more I try to remember you,
My anger numbs me while my heart and emotions burn.
Some days I sit in silence,
Hoping I’d hear the sound of your voice,
My prayers still go unanswered,
If you walk through the door now,
Everything in me would rejoice!
I cry and I struggle to figure out what to do next,
Picking up my phone every hour,
Wishing you’d send me a text.
Right now my life should be perfect,
But not without you,
I am angry, I am hurt,
My child, I am truly missing you.
