Not there

Sittin here in my room,

I spot a movement in the gloom.

Is it him?

Why is he so dim?

I continue to stare,

As the shadow moves here and there.

He’s the one I miss.

All I want is to feel his kiss.

My eyelids grow heavy.

My breathing is slow and steady.

Visions run like water through my mind.

He’s the one I want to find.

I wake up, expecting him to be beside me.

But he doesn’t seem to be.

My vision clouds with his image.

I only want to see his visage.

Here I am, staring into space.

I’m going crazy seeing his face.

I need his soft touch.

Among other things I want so much.

But he’s not here.

I have everything to fear.
