I Miss You..

I miss you most

not when you are absent

or far away…

But when you sit next to me

a thousand miles apart...

cloaked in silence, remote

and distant, aloof and detached

shutting me out of your thoughts…

pushing me away, as you

retreat into a world, where

there’s no place for me…

leaving me alone...putting up

an invisible wall somewhere

between us….too high to scale

and thick with the strain

of pent up emotions…

feelings unspoken...

As I sit miserable and lonely,

Wishing I could say the words..

longing to be said….

You and I

You are part of the sky

I am of the earth

You sail the heavens

I coast the waters

You belong to the night

I am a being of the day

You light up the dark

I bask in your glow

You move with a purpose

I drift with the current

You go about on your own

I need to have direction

You are surrounded by stars

I am grounded by reeds

You are not afraid of clouds

I am at the mercy of waves

You control the tides

I am dependent on them

You make your presence felt

I am not noticeable

You are universally needed

I am dispensable

You are beyond reach

I have to be available

You are the object of dreams

I am part of the scenery

You seem  unreal, a fantasy

I belong to reality

You can change moods

I am not allowed to

You wax and wane

I cannot afford to

You are one of a kind

I am ordinarily common

You are admired, adored

I am taken for granted

You look down and see the world

I look up and see only you

You are the gorgeous moon

I am just a dilapidated boat…..

hidden somewhere

in the folds of words

unspoken feelings

the weight of pretence
