Poems

Need, Crave, Miss

I need you when you're gone

I need you like an addict needs their next fix

I need you like an alcoholic needs a drink

I need you like a toddler needs their blanket 

I need you like an animal needs a safe place

I need you like a swimmer needs water

I need you like a singer needs their voice

I need you like a musician needs their instrument

I need you like I need air

 I crave you when you're gone

I crave you like an addict craves their next fix

I crave you like an alcoholic craves a drink

I crave you like a toddler craves their blanket 

I crave you like an animal craves a safe place

I crave you like a swimmer craves water

I crave you like a singer craves their voice

I crave you like a musician craves their instrument

I crave you like I crave air

I miss you when you're gone

I miss you like an addict misses their next fix

I miss you like an alcoholic misses a drink

I miss you like a toddler misses their blanket 

I miss you like an animal misses a safe place

I miss you like a swimmer misses water

I miss you like a singer misses their voice

I miss you like a musician craves misses their instrument

I miss you like I miss air
