Should be

My heart and soul, cast out into the cold.
How can you just disappear after so many years?
I can't eat, I can't sleep.
You pulled me in far too deep.
I want you home, to be with me.
Just like the way it should be.

You've got to give the reader a lot more in a short poem: imagery, emotion, something we can relate to and sink our teeth into. this comes across as superficial, cliche ridden whining. no need to thank me for sugar coating it for you.

LOL.

I wrote this a long time ago (I was probably 10 or 11), before I was really into writing. I don't know much about writing short poems, since this is the only one I've ever written, so that's why I posted it.

Now I know a little more. Thanks!
