Song of a Broken Heart

You're so far away, we're miles apart,
but I can still feel the beat of your heart.
It's pulsing inside me, singing its rhyme:
every pound is ringing in time.

Your eyes can still pierce me straight to my soul;
feelings within me are hard to control.
I'm empty here; I am so out of place
when I can't reach out to touch your face.

Your voice is still ringing clear in my mind—
I look for rest, but it's so hard to find
when you can't be near to whisper to me—
without you here, I can never be free.

I miss all the warmth that spreads from your arms:
I'm comforted there, protected from harm.
I'll wait for your touch, I yearn for its feel,
and then all these wounds can finally heal.
