The feeling is loneliness

Slow, dull, heart-rending, tearing me apart, again

I get glimpses of another way, another set of feelings that is possible

Between and within US

And in the mean time, my heart is being hollowed out by sorrow

Longing for it to be filled

An analogy Khalil Gibrain would be proud of

It is just longing

Like water to thirst

Like wind to becalmed

Like air to drowning

My heart for the touch of yours
