the missing of you

sometimes my heart breaks nearly in two

with the missing of you

here in my chest

a vast cavern of wilderness opens

as I see the path that led to happiness

that was stolen

when you left

there I was on the brink

of the opening

that could only come

with the leaving

and the fall

into the grieving

and who in the world

will welcome this

so if tonight all of these tears

suddenly break the banks

shattering the walls

of past resistance

maybe its best

just to surrender

to it all

for only now

with the shedding

do I remember

how much I loved you

and how much of the hurt

I had to deny

with the missing of you
