Missing

I miss someone who's never there
Whose presence I've never known.
Whose absence leaves me emptier still
And makes me feel alone.

I miss someone I've never met
Whose face I've never seen.
I miss his smell and smile and laugh,
All that has never been.

I miss someone I've never met
His room stays ever bare.
It eats away at me inside
With sorrow and despair.

I miss someone who's never been
This weight, my heart can't bear.
I miss what could have, should have been.
I miss the baby that's not there.
