I Miss Your Face

by Joan Serratelli

I miss your face
in the morning
when I wake,
you're not here

I miss our arguements
our making up
and our talks

I miss your face
in the afternoon
when you're not working
I miss you telling me off

I miss your face
in the evening
when you come home
to sleep

I miss your face
but I know
you had to leave
It was time
I must accept that
and try
to go on from here

I miss your face
your smiles
your frowns
your ups and downs

I miss your face

I love your poetry for its utter honest exposure of reality.

I agree with Elizabeth...feelings this open must be sere and plain and "there." Yours are, Joan.

isn't it amazing how no matter what some people do, we still remember them, we still miss them. maybe sometimes we shouldn't but time's a hard thing to throw away.

Simple but clear effective message. Makes me a bit sad to, realizing how many faces I myself miss.

How did I miss this one, that single line says it all, great stuff Joan, it could even be magical.
