Missing (Painterofillusions)

Missing

listen,

don't you hear that bell

something must've fell..

Are you missing something? they asked..

Maybe you're just stuck in the past, she said..

No, no, no.. she murmured to herself

Maybe I just need to go to bed..

as she picks up a book from the shelf

turning the first page,

suddenly her heart feels caged..

what's happening to me? she asked..

Are you missing something? they asked..

Maybe you're just stuck in the past, he said..

No, no, no.. she murmured to herself

i just need some sleep

for how long, he said.. as he walks forward

she looks up confused, 'what do you mean?'

listen,

i've been missing you,

i don't want to lose you,

i need you..

Were the words she hoped to never hear.

Missing? for how long..

it doesn't matter.. he said

i just want to be with you.. let me.. allow me..

he pleaded and pleaded,

but she did not allow it

Listen, she said

My heart is secured.

Please leave.

Her heart was aching for him to say, no

his tears bled, as he took one last glimpse

fine, i shall leave.

and he left..

listen,

don't you hear that bell

something must've fell..

Are you missing something? they asked..

Maybe you're just stuck in the past, she said..

No, no, no.. she murmured to herself

I just need some rest..
