somehow i can't seem to un-miss you

you set off with a confident smile

hold fast wayward wanderer

the journey's end is in sight

no matter how the burden may feel

move one boot past the other

there's a soup on the oven waiting

we're expecting that you'll be tired

the house may be quiet when you enter

but don't let that turn you away

there's a bed already made inside

please make yourself at home please

i've been waiting for you day and night

praying that one moment soon enough

you'll be here with me

praying that one moment soon enough

you'll be here with me

for i know you went to travel the world

and you set off with confident smile

ready to shake up the world

and i tried to convince myself i was okay

but the heartache never fully healed

to impact and influence all that you could

i know you're now doing all that you love

but somehow i can't seem to un-miss you

but somehow i can't seem to un-miss you

sad poetry

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
