Absence.

You are here,
But you are there.
You are present in my head,
But never where I desperately need you.
I need you here, with me
So my mind can be set free.
You used to say you missed me,
But those thoughts are dismissed.
I must be stuck amidst you,
Not valued enough to be with you,
But not quite impotent of me to be banished from you.
How do I move?
I know not my location, nor my destination.
I want to be in your presence,
But all I receive is your absence.
Why did you change?
Now I cannot find my way.
Was I not keeping you at bay?
I hate this delay,
In the same way I despise begging you to stay.
I should not have to convince you
I am worthy of your presence.
My head tells me-
Go on, she is not worthy of your time.
But my heart, my heart-
She's my longing,
I will forever be in adoration.
She has the worthiness of a queen,
She is a queen.
I desire the privilege to call her my queen.
My heart will always conquer.
In your presence will I never feel your absence.
But in your absence, will I forever feel your presence,
Here, in my mind.
I will forever miss her, if fate will not allow me with her.
