I miss you so much tonight! <br />No matter what I do, I see your face. <br />I've tried to keep my mind busy, <br />But you always invade my space. I can't eat, sleep, or even think. <br />I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. <br />Music doesn't console me anymore. <br />It all comes out in country two-time. Where are you when I need you? <br />It's been so long since you left. <br />I don't even know the reason for it? <br />And I can't think nor am I very deft. I just hope you're happy with things as they are. <br />I'm a survivor, I will forget! <br />Time heals all wounds. So they say. <br />Maybe so, but on that. . . I won't take a bet!<br /><br />Betty Ellerkamp<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-with-my-thoughts/
