I Miss You - A Poem

I can't eat, I can't sleep

I can't even blink

Without picturing you

Wrapped up in my arms

With all your peace and calm

My sweet, beautiful, I miss you

Your brown eyes are glowing

There's a halo hanging over you

In my mind all day

And you could take or leave me

Leave me here bleeding

Pleading my heart to yours

I'm only 23 years old

With an old man's soul

And a mind that don't like to rest

But around you I ain't alone

Like my heart has found its home

Anyways girl, I digress

The devil's been getting the best of me

I'm my own worst enemy

Yeah, life's been heavy to hold

Sometimes I get lost up in my fantasies

And miss what's right in front of me

Just like the winter of '25

But maybe it was all meant to be

And we're exactly where we need to be

Though what the future holds, who can tell?

I pray we both release control

And let the river flow

Carry us where it may

I miss you deep within my soul

It's only you I want to hold

Oh my sweet, beautiful

How I miss you babe.
