I'll act as though the stars are miles
and forever curse them for keeping us apart
It's times like this, when I can see the stars
Alone in my room without you,
I begin to cry and I can feel that void;
My skin grows cold where you used to lay..
And to be honest; I feel so small.
I put our song on repeat,
and sing along out of key
Trying to imagine your voice along with mine.
My hand keeps grabbing out at nothing;
Trying to find you.
You see,
It's the simple things like the scent of your skin,
and the taste of your kiss
or the way your eyes would soften when you looked my way..
That are slowly starting to eat at me
sigh...
I can feel the tears burn the back of my eyes,
Christmas has never felt so far away
As I light my fifth cigarette in the past half hour
And count every star I can find in the sky;
Praying to god they will put themselves out...
Then maybe.. just maybe you'd be here by my side
Author notes
My boyfriend and I are currently all the way across the world from each other, and we don't know when we will see each other again... we're aiming for Christmas, but things aren't promising.
I miss him so much.
Please tell me what you think

I love this write. I can feel the emotion seeping from the page. It's a familiar feeling, having been a military spouse. I know exactly how it feels. You'll get through it! Major Kudos on the write!

good job
this sounds like a situation i'm in. it's almost like you can't take it. u feel lonely w/o their touch and would do anything, anything to see him again.
btw, if u get a chance could u read my stories or poems. i would love some feedback.

Trying to find you.
i know that feeling the constant longing that is hidden deep within your essence that cant be subsided by anything other than that need to for completion..

Im sorry
From the bottom of my heart that you cannot have the one you love by your side. I know the feeling well and have dealt with it many times over, one right after another in sequence..I know the pain of not kissing them, holding them just hearing their voice and reading your poem nearly brought tears to my eyes in remembrance of the times when I felt so alone without that one special person there with me. Im sorry you have to go through this but you did a wonderful job and I wish you all the happiness and luck in the world.

i don't know what to say except that i really liked this piece. it's something i can relate to well presently. the stars putting themselves out.. interesting idea. it really is the simple things that hurt so much when the one you love is so far away. sorry i couldn't be more helpful! thanks for sharing though and best of luck.

Oh, that's beautiful! It seems so common that people write about missing their spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends, and unfortunately the poetry written about those situations all feel the same in the end. For this poem, however, I didn't make that negative connection! The imagery and feeling you've created is refreshing, but at the same time your message gets through with the emotion. I also like how you start out and end the poem with italicized thoughts, I think that's cool!

"It's the simple things like the scent of your skin,

This is how I feel about my ex...
I was only with him for a ridiculously short amount of time, but it felt like we were meant to be together...
But he dumped me by text and refuses to answer any communication I try to make with him, even though he told me he loved me and I did nothing wrong... it's been 3 weeks so far and the pain isn't getting any better.
I hope you and your boyfriend see each other at Christmas, I hate for anyone to feel like this for any length of time.
Keep up the writing,
It helps with these kinds of emotions, believe me.

Oh... that is so sad.
But you guys will see each other again.
Christmas seems really far away to me too,
but everything will come around!
This is great! -
I really like how you use stars as an indicator of the many miles seperating you and your BF and how you pray to God that they'll put themselves out so you guys can be together again..It's an awesome little concept and my favourite so far (actually, it's my only favourite ) I just think it's really accurate in portraying the lengths to which you'd go to have him by your side again and i think that it is a great indicator of the love you have for him Here's wishing he's home for Christmas xxx

this is a great peice! i hope you do get to see your boyfriend christmas, but remember, its not just a one way street, if he cant come to you, you should go to him! this is a really good poem and remember, he's not really so far away, because wen your wanting him, he's probally wnating you
hope you get to see him soon.

This is beautiful! they flow the message! wow you did a fantastic job with this. the passion you have put into this piece come seeping through. I pray that you and your boyfriend see each other soon. Great write
Sincerely,
Toddy

Aww. I didn't get that you were still together and that you hadn't seen each other. I thought you were broken up. But I love the metaphor with the stars. Just everything I love everything about this poem

This is the best poem I've read in a long time.
It's really very good, so sad and yet it inspires hope in me. I really like that. This is a wonderful poem you've written.
Great job and thank you for writting such a beautiful piece. I was very close to giving up this website, but you've changed my mind. And I thank you again for that.
