Missing you
Is like trying to breathe
In a world absent of oxygenLike walking through
The desert during a
Drought
While I lack the water I need
To surviveLoving you
Is like cliff jumping
Down you go no
Perception of
How deep the water is belowLoving you was
Feeling safe
Knowing I'm homeBut
Darling
The water is shallow
The house is torn down
Demolished by the truth
All that remains
Is what you thought
You knew.
