Where Are You, Love?

love, where are you, love?
are you here for me?
i’m swirling in thought 24/7
reminiscing our old days
now we’re distanced,
i’m craving you more

i’m starving for your love
thirsty for your touch,
i miss your taste
although all my clothes
smell like you, oh, darling
i can feel your clasp
without you being here

i embrace you every second
so tight (now in memory)
your body feels like mine,
mine like yours
now that you’re gone,
i don’t feel this way
cause i can look into my eyes
in the mirror and
see your coup d’œil

i see, darling,
i’m just a piece of you
maybe it’s still the reason
i’m still breathing
believing i’m with you,
even if it's just a hallucination

If you loved this poem, I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading another one. Here.
