The Depth of Distance

You couldn't begin to imagine the pain that I obtain from your absence,
Trying desperately to find the words, and yet my voice remains absent,
Visuals of what you are only witnessed within my computer,
My heart searches for her recruiter with no one there to recruit her,
Oh Captain my Captain with you I vowed to share my life,
The dreadful distance transformed this bitter soul into a loving wife,
I fear the bitter sound of silence each waking moment that you're gone,
Yet I grow stronger from every trial that we must come upon,
Insomnia commenced from your side of the bed I kept void,
My King will soon return, my sleepless nights far destroyed,
No time or distance shall ever keep us apart,
Come back to me love, come mend my broken heart...

such a Beautiful way to express pain....but you sound so strong, I know others who went insane....lol....I like this....but in my opinion, distance can only hurt a relationship, and if it can't then nothing can....Beautiful write...;)
