Homesick (Poem #9)

Tears swell in my eyes

Pain in my chest

An ache in my heart

My body feels weak

My life feels like it’s not moving

I am so far from home

Yet getting so much closer to going back

I am away

But I know I will be back home

The feeling of being so far from you

The homesickness

The feeling that part of me is missing

Only a few more weeks

This feeling will only be here a little longer

I cannot wait to reunite

To be in your arms

To feel your embrace

I’ve waited my whole life for you

Just let me come home

I don’t want to be homesick anymore
