what's eating my heart.....

Drowning in Distance

Here I sit
in the frozen sea of
stolen warmth that the miles
have robbed of my arms,
my lips,
and my skin.

Winter has turned the
embers of my love into
aching pain in the pit of my throat….
the hours that separate us
have made me writhe in solitude,
without your embrace, while a
warm smile fools the world of
what's inside.

The questions burn into my brain
When will I see you again?
How long must I wait in
silence? Why does this distance
claim my happiness and yours?

Serenity and love will surround
me again once your arms are
enveloping me with sincerity,
comfort, and tenderness. Your lips
will once again sing me soft music
when connected to mine.
