A piece of my heart

How are you

I really want to know

And not simply because

My heart has felt so low

These past days

Finding my way

Towards difficult truths

Buried deep

Waking round 3 am

From fitfull sleep

Trying to piece

All the mixed up puzzle pieces

Together

Today I sat and read

It was sunny weather

And my thoughts turned toward

How we are so seldom together

As I felt an empty space

Deep inside my heart

Just the shape of you

And got a longing

Just to hear your voice

Or reach out a hand

Across all of this distance that separates us

And I wish I had the strength

Just to give you a call

Despite the doubts

That keep as so far apart

To let you know

You will always hold

A missing piece of my heart
