My Heart Beats Differently

Bedroom with beige upholstered headboard, two pillows, beige lamp on wooden nightstand, window showing evening view

Some people say I miss you

The poet in me says

My heart beats differently when you’re gone

It notices your absence

It beats slower as if every beat is a chore when you’re not here

My mind races wondering if you are thinking about me

Like I am about you

My soul aches when we are apart

My fingers trace the hand you held

As if touching there would make you appear

My fingers without you there trace I love you into the empty air

Because they ache to trace it on your back

My heart beats differently when you are gone

And I just wish for you to come back
