Distance

Distance--

My heart throbs and twitches,

For your absence leaves me in anguish.

I want nothing more than my burning anxieties to cease

and for you to envelope me in your arms,

Rocking my pain away quietly.

I want my tears to meet the dams of your shirt's fabric,

Without you, they spill endlessly I swear.

I don't want to yearn anymore,

I only want to be there.

Must my love be so far away from me that even the wires in the towers falter.

I want to stop clawing for warmth in the night.

I want to burrow in your security,

and to hold on so tight.

Please end my agony

and find a way to hold me.
