My eyes can see you,
But my heart cannot reach you.
My hand is touching you,
But I cannot feel you.
We are together,
But you seemed a million miles away
And I am so lonely...

I am cold,
But your arms are frozen to warm me.
I need you,
But your ears are deaf to hear my grief
And your stone heart is numbed to ease my solitude…

I am tired and I want to give up,
But my heart is patient and keen to remain until your stone heart will thaw.

Good flow and interesting. It does need a few points to make it clearer. The poem says:


"But you seemed so million miles away"

There seems to be a word missing between 'so' and 'million', perhaps 'many'?  Or is 'so' in this case supposed to be 'a'?

"But your arms are frozen to warmth me."

Maybe 'warmth' in this case should be 'warm'?

Overall, a good poem!
