distance (old poem)

I feel unprotected without the safety of your arms around me
Lonely among thousands of people who think they know it all
But there's something in my heart that in their eyes I can't see
I can't see the pain I feel when you're not there to aid me if I fall

I can't see the despair of the lack of your touch
The fire that burns just to think you're so far away
No one told me it would hurt so much
I wonder if sometimes you feel the same way

But it's the nights that drive me mad
The bed feels cold and empty without your presence
Tears run down my face - it hurts really bad
I try to sleep but I can not on your absence

One day I will feel the peace of your embrace
One day there won't be more tears to cry
I know you will hold me and put a smile on my face
That has to happen even if it's the last thing before I die
