Lack

Missing my other half

(Disclaimer: My wife is fine, this was just an extended hospital stay)

There’s a        where she ought to be

Too cold, too hot

When I roll over,        is there

The bed is too big

A        where her laughter was

I drown in it

An endless        where I start to disappear

I struggle to feel

My happiness sinks in the       , my anger follows

Just me, in the dark

Tired, unable to sleep, feeling nothing but the       .
