Your absence is not an empty room.
Instead,
it’s an all-filling feeling
of total devastation.
With you gone,
so is my ability to sleep.
You ripped my heart out
and made my lungs empty of air.
I watched myself fade,
when I sat in front of the mirror,
and I couldn’t decide,
if I’m just evaporating into thin air,
or are tiny particles of me
flying around the world,
looking for you.
You left,
and took away all my strength
that I possessed.
You left me with one thing only –
that longing feeling,
that made my chest tight,
eyes dry,
and my life empty.
I miss you,
terribly.

And with those profound and impressive words emotions were brought in so well.
You are so kind, girl.
🙂
You really hit that nail straight on!
Missing people and places leave us wishing for better endings. A sad and powerful poem.
Thank you, dear.

Achingly beautiful, heart-wrenchingly vulnerable. I like.
Thats the side of me that hardly ever sees! Thank you for appreciating my somewhat raw words.
Raw is all that I know, so this is very close to me.
Sadness is needed to appreciate the smile again.
How are you dear?
Im…just me. 🙂
Oh dear, hadn’t seen this side before. >_<
I know… Wont show it anymore, too exposed! X
Heart-wrenching and beautiful, Ms. Chatty. xx
Thank you for appreciating my words x
…. wow! Powerful. Painful. Vulnerability at its finest. It is easy to relate to this piece. Luckily those days are over for me. Love, Light, and Laughter – N
Glad to see that your heart is not in a suffering mode anymore!
No worries, I’ve returned! No need to miss me any longer. 😛 Absolutely loved and unfortunately related to this one. 🙂
Cheeky bugger 😛
Long time ago I felt the same you describe in this lovely poem. True love only comes only one time to us, and sometimes we lose it forever.
Im glad you could relate. Not because i would like to evoke sadness in you, but because even a sad experience/emotion is worth to be felt.
Whispers hello from a thousand miles away.
Whispers back. Never forgotten.

Oh darling has this happened to you?? Your words are so painful, raw and so realistic – if you are going through this hugs from across the seas to you. I am glad to see you return but I hope that these are just words… xx
Realistic, yes. And yes, it was an emotion that i was feeling when i wrote this. I hardly ever miss people in my life, but certain souls really leave an imprint for me x
Hugs and hope your thoughts are better now lovely xx
Whoever inspired this rawness certainly got through the layers to the real you huh? Stay vulnerable Miss Owl, it’s a beautiful quality. X
I dont know if being vulnerable is what im comfortable with. It putts the heart at risk and sleep to disappear. But thank you for always having such beautiful words to tell me.
Raw and real for so many. Reading your words is like looking at a picture.
Missing someone is definitely a feeling we all can relate so well. Thank you for stopping by.
Touching and heartbreaking 😦 I hope the feelings change
Thank you, my dear far away friend.
Don’t worry he will be back.
Thank you, John.
Gosh, you described it so well. ((HUGS)) Thank you for sharing with us. Hope all is well! I’ve missed you! (SMILE!) 😀
Im ok. Slowly sorting my thoughts out.
So genuine..I like 🙂
Thanks dear!
sending you hugs – and welcome back
Thank you for the hugs. Sorry that i appeared and disappeared again. Hopefully the next time im back, i’ll stay longer.
Beautiful poem.
Thank you so very much!
You’re welcome professorish much! 😀
To be missed in this way says more than any words ever could about how much you mean to the person mourning your absence! Such a beautiful expression of raw emotion my dear, your talent is honestly unmatched! ❤️
Yes. Its a very powerful feeling that sometimes overwhelms other emotions one can feel.
True
Had Missed reading your works:)
Thanks sweets. Im on and off lately…
It’s ok we take time to find yourself. You will be missed when you are not around and loved when you are 🙂 hugs. Hope all is well.
Aaaaand she’s back! Totally awesome poem!
Back and gone and back again. Flapping wings.
😉
Oh, dear, who is the bastard ?
Ummmm, maybe not a bastard 🙂 just me looking back at my past.
In so case, the past is the bastard ; )
Simple, clear, devastating. Your ‘small’ words carry huge emotion. Ms. Owl!
Because i have noticed that the most simple words carry the biggest emotion. Thanks dear!
):
Thats ok, no need to be sad..
I like this a lot! I know this feeling all too well
To miss someone is a terrible heart-ripping sadness.
It is… It’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone
