when you have

gone I feel the

emptiness as if a strong

wind took away the only shelter

that protected my eyes from

the burning sensation

and I know what a missing kind

feeling is and after

you go I am like a warm

pair of feet forced to walk

across the snow in order to advance

past this emotion of missing you

if I had shown you the

amount I wanted your affection

I would be afraid you may

want to run from my love

and I have seen you

slowly become happier and closer

to me

so my fears betray me
