Do you think of me still?

absence

I wanted to drown

in your sea of desires

you overwhelmed me

like a child at sea

you was a relentless wave that came down crashing over me

I wanted to kiss your lips

without getting tired

I needed you to need me

it's strange

how someone who once gave you so much relief

could cause all this grief

and at night I still claw your side of the bed

to wake up empty handed

and most of all I wanted

was for you to come back home

the absence of your presence

was the loudest silence

I have ever endured

I can only hope hopelessly

that one day you will return
