I'm Not There Anymore

I realized today
I'm not where I was.
Surroundings are different,
And this gives me pause.

Cravings I have
Cannot here be filled.
The mover in me
Is forceably stilled.

The haunts I have there
Are so far away.
I can no longer enter them
At end of the day.

Sights I enjoy
Can no longer be seen.
That type of beauty
Cannot now be gleaned.

Faces I saw
From close or far
May as well be as distant
As twinkling star.

Voices and words
That tickled my ear,
I their dulcetness
Do not hear.

The love that was there,
Comfortable and warm,
Far away, it's louder now
To be heard like a storm.
