Missing You

Submitted by bkcarver | May 21, 2013 - 1:46am

Another day, more tears.

I am alone and missing you.

I miss your smile.

I miss the comfort of your arms.

I miss the sound of your voice.

I find myself talking to you while watching TV.

I miss your teasing.

I miss your gentleness.

When I go anywhere, I talk to you in the car.

I talk to you at the stores.

My mind says he's gone

my heart says no.

I look for him

I listen for his voice

I miss sharing my day with him

I miss his endearing words

I miss his wisdom

The pain digs deep

It kills my sleep

Hungering, wondering what will be

You Didn't Win

You came across the water

With destruction on your mind

Thinking nothing of the heartaches

And broken dreams you'd leave behind

I LOOKED UP

I looked up in the sky today and wondered if you knew

How many times a day I spend just thinking about you

I wake and see the sunrise spreading glory across the sky

Birthday for My Boy in Heaven

This birthday find me

where the dragonfly meets

with the enchanting moon

on spun threads of gold

under willow limbs,

where crickets and frogs play.

The Dinner Table

The empty chair it stares at me,

that empty chair at the table.

We'd love to sit back down,

but I just don't think we're able.
