Analysis of 2021/12/15 ~ What It's Like Missing You



Who know missing somebody so bad would feel like...

It's physically hurting in your chest?

Half your heart is gone?

There's a whole being torn in my soul?

That's only part of what it's like missing you.

About this poem

Sometimes we don’t have the words to describe a feeling, especially one as strong as love and/or missing somebody so bad it hurts. Sometimes all we can do is try to explain it, but it’s never enough.
