Together We Cry

My love, together we cry
Dampening each others shoulder
As our hearts
Cringe in pain
At the agonizing separation
That creeps upon us
Knowing that soon
We’ll wake up alone
To pictures of memories
And pained voices on the phone
Anxiously awaiting our next meeting
Dreaming of each other
And the comfort of a loving embrace
The memory of soft lips
And the taste of our last teary kiss
Forever lingering in our minds
But as we journey through this hell

My dear, please know
We go through it together
The same tears that cloud your vision
And fill your eyes
Are the same tears
That flow freely down my face
The loneliness that plagues you
Is the same loneliness that haunts me
The pieces of your life
That fall and scatter about you
Are the same pieces that I gather
That we might put each other
Back together again
The sobs and screams
That fill your throat
Are the same cries
That I am choking on
When the day draws to a close
And you lie down
Clutching a pillow
As you cry yourself to sleep
That I too am laying in an empty bed
Holding on to a pillow
As if it were you
And cry until sleep takes hold of me

Take comfort in the knowledge
That we will be together again one day
Despite the miles between us
We go through every torturous step
Side by side
That no matter the distance
You will forever be
In my heart
My mind
And my soul
As I will be in yours
That you are the love of my life
And forever will be.
