When you are away

Ah! the lone nights

When you are away from home

it is such a drag

The hands on the clock

seem to have frozen for eternity

Making it only harder

As I hug your scent 

and try to sleep

The walls echo your deep voice

and whisper sweet kisses

Making it only harder

Impressions on the mattress 

and the crumpled blanket - remind me

Of the shoulders I have leaned on

the torso I have played on

I spread myself to

try and fit your space 

Making it only harder

The air is cold

the room is emptier

The toilet seat is upright

it's your fragrance in the room

Making  it only harder

Your towel, your clothes - 

is what I see myself searching for

To get a whiff of you

and let your scent fill the missing blanks

Making it only harder

Its not even an hour

and I miss you already

Making it only harder

when you are away!
