Missing You Tonight

a poem by Altaaf Jaffer

Darkness
No light from heaven,
No flames from hell
Echoes
The only sounds I hear,
Are the words you yell
Screaming
We’ve had our fun,
We’ve had our fights
Babe
Where are you now?
I’m missing you tonight

Thunder
With the crushing of the waves,
From the lightning in the sky
Tears
For the new love in your life
And the dust in my eyes
Poison
From the kisses I’ve got
And this forbidden wine
Darling
Come back into my life
I’m missing you tonight

Dreams
Really close to life
Still the best I’ve had
Heartache
Never felt so real
Never hurt so bad
Hoping
Am I running in circles,
Am I losing my pride?
Baby
I need you now
I’m missing you tonight
