An apology for my Absence

You feel the void,
You want to hear
You turn to fill
The absence of a voice

You yearn to catch
You pray to see
You beg to kill
The absence of a grasp.

You choose to leave
You want to know
You hate the hole
The absence of a grief.

You fight to stay
You cry to tell
You like to hug
The absence of all gray.
