True Poem by Amanda Saveley

Your absence leaves me...
Deprived.

And in my heart of hearts I know...
Somewhere...

It must be true.

Yes, you are gone.
You are not here.
You're somewhere else.

And somewhere deep inside myself...
Somehow...

I know it must be true.

Yes, I know myself better than all the rest,
Enough to say life's not been best.
I know enough to say what I believe.

Yet somewhere, somehow, deep inside...
I know it to be true.
Yes, it's quite the thing you see,
I never thought that I would be,
And now I am; I know that this is true...

Somehow deep inside my heart,
My soul...

I know I must love you.
