Day Four

The quietness of our home
Gave me time to write this poem
About spending time apart
And the silly things it does to the heart

Since you have been gone
I wake up every day before dawn
I go through my normal routine
Having coffee and being the domestic queen

There is no conversation to be had
The dogs English is really bad
So I go about doing my chores
Buying groceries, window shopping at several stores

But as hard as I try to conceal how I feel
My heart is still having a hard time trying to deal
With being seperated, alone and empty
For you see, I'm missing you plenty

After eight years of having you by my side
Even though it has been a bumpy ride
I think you will agree
I am a part of you and you are a part of me
