“Pain of Missing You”

My heart sends cries
Of missing you
Through the night
Shattering like glass
When it hits the wind
Not enough pain
To give it wings
Of its own, but the wind
Can't hold it either
It doesn't want to
The wind and the rain
Do not want my pain
But neither do I
I cannot contain it
For if I do
I fear I shall shatter
Like glass

With no wind to pick me up
And carry me away
On the ground I would stay
Crushed into dust
By those who have enough pain
Of their own
