Something's Missing

Something’s Missing
Life minus that significant other…

When my bed becomes too big
And my soul feels devoid of warmth
When my life seems only half fulfilled…
I know something’s missing.

When reclusion becomes my occupation
And solitude becomes a norm
When the dark becomes my friend…
I know something’s missing.

When my Sky bares no stars
And my Earth bares no fruit
When my universe has no centre…
I know something’s missing

When I run out of excuses to carry on
And my existence seems a waste of time
When I fail to find inner peace…
I know something’s missing

When there are no hands holding mine,
And my arms find nothing but thin air to embrace
When none claims me as theirs…
I know something’s missing

When love and I become distant,
And affection alienates itself from me
When dreams are all I have…
For sure, something’s missing
