Until He Returns
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
Patiently waiting to see him again.
I’ve learned not to ask when he’d be back.
He needs his space.
I understand.
But I just wish I could be alone,
And still be with my man.
Does that make sense?
Feel his warmth and the crease in his chest.
While still able to take a break and rest
From sharing my energy…
I love him but I still need to recharge
My social battery.
Please don’t go too far or be gone too long.
I’ll overthink and sing sad songs.
I wanna be in your arms all day long.
And simultaneously be in solitude—
Meditating and listening to classical music.
I may sound crazy but I need my space too.
But I can’t live without you…

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.

This is me and my husband. I can't be away from him, and I don't like being away from him, but we also have separate hobbies, so it's hard. I wanted the yearning for love and hope in this poem.
Loved it! It's so honest but also you paint a picture with emotions and it feels like it's happening.
"Patiently waiting to see him again. I’ve learned not to ask when he’d be back." Great lines!!
loved it
This is great! I love, like RM said, the opposing feelings. Beautifully penned, ripe with emotion, longing and sadness, but understanding too! Such a wonderful poem!
This is powerfully moving, describing two opposing feelings which are joined as one. I especially loved this part: “I wanna be in your arms all day long. And simultaneously be in solitude—“ Well done!
