Your absence leaves me with an <br />empty page on which two diverging <br />stories are written, but who cares <br />about loss when it leaves a meaningless <br />vacuum, never totally gone, but shrinking <br />to a pinpoint of pain. <br /> <br />Don't touch it for it evokes hope <br />and desire which are best ignored. <br />Only in foolishness, the wish <br />persists. <br /> <br />I miss your unruffled nature, your easy chuckle, <br />your seemingly desire to please, although <br />under scrutiny it hides what you want. <br /> <br />I fill the air with words that come from the heart <br />and your mind is spinning, dodging, letting me think <br />you understand when in actuality, you do not feel <br />what I feel: <br /> <br />An upcoming loss!<br /><br />Elke Nigro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-upcoming-loss/
