Longing:For What You Can't Have

43 3 2
                                    

Standing there
Less then three feet away
Yet,I still miss you.

I see you smile
No longer because of me
But that's okay
As long as
I see you happy.

Placed together
In these small rooms
The tension
Is almost palpable.

I wish it weren't like this
Wishing can only
Get me so far

Civilized
That's a good word
To describe our actions.

Hmph
Losing the ones
I care about
Has become a
Normality
For me.
