I (Don't) Miss You

I do not miss you.

I hunger for you

with every starving cell in my body

I thirst for you

your smell, your touch, your taste

It is not void I feel

It is deaf pain,

need, longing, yearning

so heavy no words can explain

And no, do not mistake it for lust

Because the thousand thoughts in my mind,

the restlessness of my heart

All drive me to you

All tear me apart.

So trust me, when I say I miss you, I don't.

I just say so for lack of better words.
