Something's Missing

Life without that significant other

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
