Numb

The distance is painful

You leave my soul numb

Far away

Keeps my thoughts glum

Your demeanor has changed

You see me in a different light

You made the choice

Between fight or flight

Inside your words

I find no response

You are so far away

Pain once again haunts

Whatever the reasons

Things seem horribly awry

Your heart gone far, far away

I try to uncover why

I search my soul

To find your heart

It is so far away

Why did we part?

Love transcends

Boundaries deep

My heart lingers

How long will it keep?

I long for your return

Your heart to share

I need to understand

Shed this obviously blank stare

Distance is an obstacle

Easily overcome

You're so far away

My mind goes numb

Hearing your sweet voice

I have earnestly missed

Replaying in my mind

The last time we kissed

The pain is still fresh

Wounds are superficially worn

Recovery is tough

From being lovelorn

Faithful to the very end

My heart does not dare stray

Even though

You are so far, far away
