Today is a hard one.
I saw your face
Smiling up at me
In a picture.
And I was happy for you
As my tears hit the screen,
And alongside the happiness
Was hurt
I wanted to hug you,
But the miles between us
Are too many.
I feel the distance
Like a knife in my heart.
An eerie whisper
On a malevolent wind,
That sneers
“You’re missing out.”
And sounds like
Loneliness.
