Where Are You? Poem by Laura Rodriguez

Where are you?
Why can’t I find you anywhere?
Can’t you see I’m dying without you?
Can’t you see I can’t breathe without you?
Can’t you hear my heart calling out for you?
I need you here,
with me,
next to me,
this moment.
Where are you?
I can’t see you.
I can’t feel your presence over me.
I can’t feel your arms around me, your cool breath on my neck.
I can’t feel your eyes on mine,
your hand over mine.
Where are you?
Why can’t I find you?
Where are you hiding?
Why are you doing this?
I can’t breathe,
I can’t move,
I can’t think,
I can’t see.
Come back to me, my love.
