Missing Love. Missing Being Loved.

There's an emptiness within;
A starless sky,
A moonless night,
Seeking the light of love
To illuminate the darkness.

There's a desert within;
A parched ground,
A cracked river bed,
Seeking the waters of love
To revive the withering tree.

I miss love;
I miss being loved.
I miss hugging.
I miss being hugged.
I won't miss being single,
Because loneliness is all I ever knew.

There's a chasm within;
A yawning canyon,
An unfathomable valley,
Seeking the bridge of love
To cross over to the coming dawn...
