Atonement

As I move from my left to my right,
Hurt and pain dwells within,
Pulsating my desire, my silent plea,
For love.

A hug,
A kiss,
A call,
A touch,
Is needed now.

As they signify your existence,
In my world, thoughts, and breathe,
My air,
My hope is in you,
I exist!

And though I am alone,
You are close,
Near,
I sense you,
Whispering sweet sentiments,
Your smell is apparent,
I exhale and hold on.

Remembering our past,
Futuristically unknown,
Foggy and unpredictable,
I am bitter.

Unfresh, spoiled, and stale,
Leftovers from yesterday,
I have been forgotten,
Feeling blue,
I am no longer self.

As I await,
Your arrival is pertinent,
To your succession,
Happiness is through me,
I am you!
