December Poem

I never write poetry, but I tried my hand at rhyming couplets.... bear with me:

All I do is think of you,

And how you aren't here.

Every second hurts, what more can I do?

Come back to me and take away this fear.

Like plunging into icy water,

I can't come up for air.

Without you here nothing seems to matter,

I am part of an incomplete pair.

Tears sting my eyes.

I miss you so,

I cannot hide my pitiful cries.

But soon you will be back I know.

You are all that I want,

You're everything I could ever need.

Ahead I see no détente,

This love was built to succeed.

I don't know how I ever lived without you.

Days seemed to be shorter,

I never knew what to do.

My life was so much bleaker.

Until you came into my life,

And everything changed.

One day I want to be your wife,

With you I'm constantly amazed.

How did we ever live before?

My lips have never kissed like this,

Always opening another new door,

A feeling that I refuse to dismiss.

You are all that I want,

You're everything I could ever need.

Ahead I see no détente,

This love was built to succeed.

Patiently I will wait for you,

Soon you'll be mine again.

My days will have a brighter hue,

I'm holding my breath until then.
