Absent

In your absence I feel alone
Empty, with no one to talk to
No one to love me
No voice to whisper into my ear in secret of the night
As bad as I want you near
To feel your embrace
Not having to hesitate or regret
I have to grasp hold on this reality
The truth that the lie I've been told is unreal
The idea that you complete me is an unhealthy fantasy
In fact, I'm much better without you
Your absence allows space for me to be made whole
Without your force draining pieces of me as our interactions leave me distraught and without peace
Truth is I already have someone that whispers in my eye in the silence of the night
His embrace is so sweet, soft and welcoming
He not only completes me
But He fills me abundantly to overflow
And most importantly is His love that surrounds me
In His absence none can be
