STUMPED

Why do the nooks and alleyways 
Of my heart stay bereft 
Thirsting, unquenched

For the warmth of your breath  
For the whisper of your words 
Spoken just for my ear 
Why do I always miss you 
Even when you're near? 
You're all around me, in me 
My soul, soaked in yours
Yet blind 
Why do you live in my heart 
Willingly sharing beats 
And still play games with my mind
