How I wish you knew,
Of the moments,
Where your presence is consistently missing.
From observing my facade confidence ;
To fathoming the turmoil within.
From motivating in your own silent way;
And adding pressure to my hands dangling.
If only I could tell you
Of my mind, with your thoughts recurring
Then perhaps, the uproar within me could calm a little.
But here! I admit.
Your presence in my life
Will always be desolating.
