Her Poem by Phillip Dodham Cormier

I just lay here staring at the ceiling
With a feeling of longing
She was here beside me just a moment ago
Now she is gone
It may only be for a short time
But for my heart it is an eternity
Ever second that passes is an era
All I want is to have her here beside me
My arms wrapped around her
Yet I cannot touch her for she is nowhere near
My heart cries out for her
My limbs cry out for her
All in life I hold dear is within her
I love her
The world needs to know I love her
Though she is gone for a brief second I shall miss her
