Dark Refrains

This torturous distance seems to widen
And each parting moment
Stains my soul with tears.
This love engulfs my life
And my thoughts are with you most
When I cannot be with you
And so the need grows
Like an awful malignancy
Attacking my heart.
How I wish that I could
Burn down this expanding maze between us.
But I remain lost here
Alone and missing you
And dreaming of the days
When we shall waken every morning
In each others arms.
