My heart cracks as I sit and read
Unseen chains bind my heart
Healing touch is forbidden
Distance has made sure of that

What do I say, what can I do
Sit and read, try and speak
Half way around the world
Just words with no reassuring trust

Oh to hold her in my arms
Give her a place of comfort
A place of safety and warmth
Some way to make my words
more than just the words they are.

May the light of day always shine during the darkest of nights.

You sure do have a way with words, sweet one. I think I like the sweeter, happier words that roll off your tongue, though, to this saddening message. However, it is very good.. *hugs to you*

This is beautiful and so mournful too. I dunno why you haven't got more replies, but hopefully this lil boost to the top will get you some from those who missed it. I love it.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good Poem Strosek
Sincere truthful words are not "just words".....they do get through.

Great poem.

But your words are more than just they are. I think you did a good job expessing that.

This is an excellent poem deep with meaning and strength. I do believe words written at times can have a more powerful display of emotion than the actual physical touch. I checked out your website quite awesome journal you have there.
