Absent

I watched in silent observation
How your eyebrows are bunched up
As if in concentration,
Trying to solve the answer to life
But you're just thinking
Of materialistic ways to make me happy

I sleep on a tear-stained pillow
Showing signs of memory time travel
I'm not missing the past
I'm just missing you
Where are you really,
In the structure of flesh and bones,
Where is your heart?
