Analysis of Absence
Your thought wakes every morning,
I crave your touch each night,
And dream your love as I'm sleeping,
Holding your body tight.
Your smell riots my senses,
Your kiss turns all my world,
Your smile leaves me defenceless,
Your sex raw silk unfurled.
Our time is so brief together,
Each moment lost a thief,
An aching that can never
From wanting find relief.
