I may not be present, honey, but <br />I've never forgotten you, <br />not even for a second. <br /> <br />I want so bad to be around you, but <br />the world that surrounds me <br />has been tricking me, <br />distracting me, <br />therefore, frustrating me. <br /> <br />You stole the roots from this tree. <br />You stole the sky from this cloud. <br />You stole the taste from my mouth <br />and the youth of this soul. <br /> <br />I gasp with scents. <br />I suffocate with sounds. <br />I faint with the colors... <br />of a world in black and white. <br /> <br />Wake me up from this nightmare. <br />Pull me out of the ashes. <br />Bring me to life. <br /> <br />Into your life.<br /><br />Ananda Alves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/absence-39/
