Today's poem prompt is to write about something that is missing, whether that is a physical object, a feeling, or an idea. Here's my feeble attempt at this prompt:
Missing Something
There it is in your touch,
a slow burn on my skin
it trails down my neck and across my cheek.
It’s a love I cannot understand.
Slams into my supple cheek,
harsh as the morning light after a long night.
You say you love me,
caress me, press all the right buttons in bed.
But when I have things to do,
places to be, work to take care of,
it's a different story.
A story that takes a deep, heated turn
like the argument we have over the coffee.
It’s too strong, too bitter, and too burnt.
What did you write today?

Feeble attempt? Who are you kidding. Those last three lines especially make this poem work for me. Great job with the prompt.
