When You Are Gone... Poem by Axel Pantelmann

When you are gone...

When the silence goes long

I feel the pain in my heart and soul

I grind to a stop...



I look down and wish for your return

I close my eyes but nothing stops my yearning.

My heart is wondering where is my girl,

Where is my world?

I grind to a stop...



my eyes open 3 am, and

I roll over to see if she is there for me again

I stand in plea, on my knees for thee

I grind to a stop...



The sun is up but

My heart is down

I look around and nothing is to be found

no smile, no soft words of love

I grind to a stop



I can't go on...
