"It may seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like these that kiss my troubled head when you're away and I am missing you to death."

I didn't expect to feel nothing
To just be empty
What was I supposed to feel?

I expected to feel



sad




depressed






angry
I figured I would



cry




scream




want to die
Instead, I feel




nothing.

I thought there would be tears
I thought there would be a crushing pain
or a heavy weight on my chest.

Yet, here I sit



indifferent.
And I feel



nothing.
