I Miss You...

by Shaista Khadim

I Miss You
When I look around myself
And find nothing but animosity
And I become trapped in the shell.

I Miss You
Every time someone taunts me
Every time my eyes fall to the ground
Every time I need someone to wipe my tear.

I Miss You
When I'm walking alone
When no one wants to hold my hand
When I'm all forlorn.

I Miss You
The moment I feel weak
Like I'm lost
Like I'm buried.

I Miss You
When I read this
And think of every time
I dearly missed.
