Missing You

Trapped in a world of empty spaces,
Tortured by a thousand happy faces.
Tell me, can you take away the pain,
When my tears out pour a hundred rains.
Standing alone in a crowded place,
People come and go without a trace.
Leaving broken hearts scattered around,
Nothing but remnants left on the ground.
Please understand why I can’t feel this,
When you leave without a single kiss.
But I miss you, I honestly do,
So come back home, I know you miss me too.
