"There But Not Around"
"There But Not Around" can be a friend, family member or even yourself. Write a prose or a poem about someone who is still in you life but not being active (emotionally/mentally/physically/spiritually) in it for whatever reason. Good luck for the winner!
__abby__ in Poetry & Free Verse

Without You

I know that you're still there,

that if I need you, you'll come back to me,

if only for a moment.

But what you don't understand,

is that I need you all the time;

every second of every day.

I need the comfort you bring,

especially right now,

in a time when I can't find any peace.

I need the love you hold in our heart,

even if you're saving it for her,

if she ever decides to come back.

I need the genuine care

that I found behind your eyes,

the day I really saw you for the first time.

I just need you.

Because it feels like I won't survive this fight

without you.
