Since You Shipped Away

Tears are a release I'v been addicted to,
Since you were shipped away,
When my hands cannot reach you,
They flow freely night and day.

Our love is like a calling I cannot escape,
It catches me and makes me lonely almost everyday,
My heart is gone with you,
Of that I am certain and true,
Nothing but my loneliness remains,
As I lay here crying, clinging to this worn out picture of you.

I re-read our letter's today,
They made me laugh, smile and cry,
They lit the spark in my heart,
They made me die a little inside.

Everything has its perks,
Ours is Pride and true love stories,
But right now all I can think of is your voice in the morning,
Our "I love you's" late at night and spread through out the day,
The way your voice makes me weak with love overflowing,
The way right now I choke on my fears while writing this long piece of poetry prose.

I love you more then anything, this I know as true,
And if I were too look in your heart, I know I'd find that too,
It's hard to sit here and do nothing, while you fight in and train for real and certain danger,
But im a civilian, im your heart, and in cases like this,
Best left at the start.

I'll protect it with my life, the things you entrust to me,
For all the tears I'v cried,
Nights I'v spent alone,
Im loyal and true to no one but you.

You fill my thoughts, my fantasy's,
In my day dreams its only you that I greet,
Never once have I thought of betraying you,
I honor the beauty and perfect imperfection that is you.

The tears I cry are real, they coat my soul like a heavy veil,
But with every letter, phone call I get,
The veil is lifted and my heart is at rest.

So sleep well as you know I pray for you,
Think only of you; love no one but you,
For I am your heart, as you are mine,
And no matter our pain, that is a truth that will forever remain.
