I feel the absence
of your hands
all over my body
when I want to be touched
I feel the absence
of your lips
over mine
when I want to be kissed
I feel the absence
of your body
next to mine
when I want to be held
I feel the absence
of your ears
for my words
when I want to be heard
I feel the absence
of your eyes
for myself
when I want to be seen
I feel the absence
of your shoulder
for my teary eyes
when I want to be consoled
all I feel is the presence
of this undeniable pain
inside my heart
when all I want is to be healed...
