My heart feels hollow
My skin so cold
My fingers won’t stop trembling

I close my eyes
To see if the pain will go
But all I see is darkness

I look all around
Searching to find you
But all I can find is empty air

My soul has been broken
I feel incomplete
For you are no longer here

The author's comments:
I wrote this on the day a friend of mine told me that her dog was missing. She had been missing already for about a week, and had not been seen anywhere. I want her to know that I very much hope that she is found, and is found okay.
