You are missing from me

The world around me seems to be the same,

I can sense smiles, laughter, and happiness,
When nothing around has changed a bit,
All I feel is something hollow within,

For you are missing from me.

The day is bright and there's no sign of a cloud,

Sunlight seeps through the window creak as I stare at nothingness,

When all the lights are on and there's brightness everywhere,

All I feel is something dark within,

For you are missing from me.

There are noises and cheerfulness all around me,

I can hear conversations, and of those typing away sheet after sheet,

When the day is just like any other Monday to them,

All I feel is a silence within,

For you are missing from me.

I see no panicked faces around,

All are occupied in the flow of the day,

When they all seem relaxed and enjoying the moment,

All I feel is a sense of desperation,
For you are missing from me.
