A poem - "Missing You"


Missing You

I remember many years ago
When our love was fresh and new
When we meant "I do" forever
When your heart toward me was true

I can't help thinking of the times
When we'd hold hands and reminisce
When we were the best of lovers
A warm embrace, a tender kiss

You were there when I needed you
I was there when you needed me
Now you're living with another
You said you wanted to be "free"

Four walls and an empty apartment
Match the emptiness deep within
Can't shake off this woeful feeling
I'm still paying for your act of sin

Will I ever feel good again?
The pain inside me comes and goes
There is little I can do about it
Standing by while my loneliness grows

There's no return to the better times
When I'd come home to a loving wife
I fear those days are gone forever
It's my problem for the rest of my life
