    Poems of Deep Emotions of Missing You

    Explore the heartfelt emotions that arise when you miss someone deeply.

  1. My Heart Yearns For You
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    In the depths of night, my heart yearns for your presence,
    But all I find is an echoing silence, a painful essence.
    Longing, like a flame, dances within my soul,
    Drawing me closer, consuming me whole.

    Absence, a merciless thief, steals your touch,
    Leaving me empty, longing for you so much.
    In dreams, I seek your face, your tender embrace,
    But waking reality offers no solace.

    My nights are filled with whispers of your name,
    Aching for the day when our love will reclaim,
    The distance between us, the void we endure,
    For in that moment, our connection will be pure.



  2. Constant
    Poet: Arthur Franklin Fuller

    City throngs are hastening by,
    Seeking pleasures new;
    Alone am I thought in their midst,
    While I am away from you.

    Scenes both strange and wonderful,
    Cease not all day through;
    Yet nought can quell the loneliness,
    While I am away from you.

    Music, drama, gala things.
    Pleasure's great ado —
    But my little world is blank and void,
    While I am away from you.

    Glad the hours spent by your side,
    Soothing their review;
    Sweet content can ne'er return.
    While I am away from you.



  3. Lonely And Still
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Days stretch ahead, lonely and still
    My heart feels like it's standing still.
    Every moment ticking closer to the time
    When I know you'll once again be mine.

    The longing grows consuming my days
    I miss your touch, your loving ways.
    Without you, it is hard to exist
    Ours is an unbreakable bond, a tight-knit bliss.



  4. my days are incompleted without you I miss you


  5. Missing You
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    My love, never fear -
    Every day you are away
    I am here to stay true
    Waiting this time out with grace, not dismay

    Thinking of our time shared together all the same
    For us, this moment of absence is but a short delay.
    I know one fine day soon, my love, I can embrace
    As I am missing you more and more each day.

    This drooping heart to cheer;
    To none my sorrow can confide —
    I'm very lonely here.

    The spot on which we parted.
    With grief I often see;
    When there, quite broken-hearted,
    I sit and sigh for thee!

    And force the scalding tear —
    Oh! hasten, love, and come again,
    For I'm so lonely here.
