This is a feeling I’ve never known before;
an empty, sorrowful ache.
It has only been days,
yet it feels like an eternity.
How much longer must I endure without you?
Everyday I anticipate that you might return,
and everyday its just disappointment.
My hope builds and I convince myself that it will be today,
and then my joy comes crashing down as Karma settles in.
This pain continues, relentlessly pulling at my heartstrings.

I don’t know when you’ll be back,
but right now it seems too far away to fathom.
My desperation grows every minute we spend apart,
and my mind goes wild with possibilities.
If only I knew you were safe,
if only I was sure that I’ll see you again.
Wherever you are,
until you return;
This pain continues, relentlessly pulling at my heartstrings.
