Thousands

A thousand miles apart can’t measure the distance.

A thousand smiles out there can’t fully fill the emptiness.

A thousand days away can’t capture the deepest moments.

A thousand words stuck in my mouth can’t describe my true feelings.

I just miss you.

Nice use of repetition here. Each "thousand" reveals a new level of feeling. The last line encapsulates all of them. Well done. I am a fan of brevity.

Thank you, John. I’m Vietnamese, so in Vietnamese poetry, there is also a repetitive structure like this. I simply applied it to my English poems. I’m not sure whether it’s effective or not, but thank you for appreciating it.

This poem portrays the unspoken messages of a boy to the girl he loves one-sidedly. The inspiration came to me after watching a movie.

This feels like there's much more behind the words than maybe a reader can pick up. There's a deepness here, I can feel it. Good one. :)
