This missing,
This wanting,
This constantly seeking
It’s like an ocean wave
Threatening to envelope me
Overwhelm
And drown me
And it’s taking 99% of my energy
To keep it at bay
But it’s in my nose
And in my lungs
In my blood
And it stings every moment
But not enough to numb
Just enough to hurt
And I want to let it out
Through salty tears
But even that is only temporary
Because this ebb and flow
Will go on
Until I am reunited with you
One with you
In your arms again
But until then…
Keep busy…try…
Hands shaking
Heart pounding
Eyes filling
And a phone call a day
Makes the heartache hurt less a bit
Keeps the ocean of missing you
A centimeter away

Beautifully written poem. Being so far from someone you love is difficult and full of emotions. “A phone call a day makes the heartache hurt less.” Took the words right out of my mouth. ? Thank you for sharing your poem.
Kathleen
Thank you so much! That’s so true. It’s fighting against something invisible and abstract that makes one feel so helpless…but yeah, thanks to technology we’re able to make it a little bit easier to bear. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to comment as well! ♡

Beautiful poem, you did a great job of capturing the physical pain that comes with missing someone
Kathleen
Thanks Lily! It’s hard to put into words but I’m glad I was able to convey that emotional pain, that yes, also borders into physical pain.
