Description Sleeping Alone

With every night that passes
I feel you're further away
I had always held you deep within my heart
alone within my heart
I gave up so much
to be with you
This relationship, has begun to take it's toll
I'm wasted away, with all my youth behind me
and this tunnel ahead.
You never were able to get away,
to see me
always held back, by this or that
I miss you, and the warmth in my arms.
Can't you be here now?
Sigh, as I wonder if you even would be - if you could.
Lay alone, in this cold bed.
I wrapped myself in the warmest blankets,
and still can't keep it right.
Where are you tonight? Sleeping sound and tight.
I move my arms
and find your phantom laying there beside me
My heart collapses,
as I start to think
and wonder about my future
alone within myself
A tear rolls down my cheeks
followed closely by a thousand more
minutes turn to hours
and you're still not here
Everything of this life, I've wasted here with you
is tearing and sheering
my heart is in two, and beside itself with it's fear
alone
Beating increases, and my anxiety is through my skull
pulse is pounding as I come to this realization
clutching myself
curled into a ball upon my floor
my arms search for you
but your skin
they never meet
and never will, again.
alone.

I used to do a lot more abstraction, but I always felt trite whenever doing it. That's the only poetry I had ever really been exposed to, so I try to keep it concrete. I'll try a few abstract pieces, just for you.

there seems to be a continuous subject matter in your writing. though i'm not sure if it is all about the same exact person. they all seem so sad.

you're a pretty good writer. this poem was okay but it didn't really hold my interest, reading it was a bit boring. try expressing yourself in new ways. instead of always referring to exactly what you are feeling, use more figures of speech.
