I miss you
As soon as you
get on the train home,
left alone on the platform
stifling tears.

I miss you
As soon as you
leave the room,
left cold without your arms
to warm me.

I miss you
As soon as you
drift silent off to sleep,
left to stare at your peace
eyes open.

I miss you
As soon as you
sign off the webchat,
left to fiddle with the keyboard
untyping.

I miss you
As soon as I
light up a cigarette,
and you look at me shamefully
breaking me.

I miss you
For always
whenever you’re not here,
I need you next to me forever,
and I feel so needy saying it,
but I love you,
I need you,
I miss you.
