Distant Love

***This here is dedicated to my eldest sister and her husband stuck in a long distance
relationship....***
**************I step out of myself, jump into their mind to tell their story, I hope you
enjoy**********



I'm so far away, 
I find it hard to cope.
Alone, I lay
I've come close to losing hope.
I need my husband, 
my one and only.
Does he still wear his wedding band?
Emotionally stressed, 
lonely?

I talk to him everyday,
but a voice over the phone
is not enough.
as a woman, grown,
alone,
It's rough.
i have needs
call me greedy
I yearn for his seeds.
Come to me baby
Please..

Your imprinted in my mind,
but your not here.
Working, struggling to find
you near me dear...
Fear,
Never....
Even though we're miles apart
I know I am yours forever...

____________________________________________________________________________________________________


Here I sit, 
around those I can't stand.
They throw childish fits
Two grown men..
Four years, I saw you everyday
Now alone, 
But, I won't stray
My heart frayed
Over-played..
The commitment I have made
I'm yours,
No matter where I stay.

I miss my wife,
so full of strife.
Life,
wounding me daily,
stabbed by lifes' knife..
I try to be positive,
but It's hard
not to be negative.
My muse has gone away.
Alone,
I lay.
How will I cope today?

All yours I remain
No matter where I lay
every night I pray
but life without you
everyday seems gray

I must stay focused
through this 
emotional hocus pocus.
But, the day will come
when we're together again.
I hate this, being lonesome,
I need
My wife and my best friend...

It must be so hard when two loved ones are apart for so long, for whatever reasons - they must become strangers to an extent. Good write Jared>>James
