YIKES!! Sorry guys, I forgot to post this past week.
This one came from a sorta random inspiration. I was sitting, thinking about something and there it was. Hope you guys like it! But it’s okay if you must critique it heartlessly!! 😉
Melt the Miles (Between Our Two Hearts)
I’m sitting here, staring at the screen
As those jet black letters jump out at me
Screaming about your tragedyI type out ‘I’m sorry’ on the screen
Somehow those two words seem empty to me
No heart, no soul, no sympathyYet I can’t write what I would say if I
Could see you, if I could hug you, and cry.
I can not type words that I would pray with you if we could be on our kneesOh, how I wish the miles
Could melt away between our two hearts
I’ll have to fake the smiles
While inside my heart’s splinters apart
I want to be with you
I want to help you struggle through
But there’s too many miles
Between our two broken, breaking hearts
I am here just aching to comfort you
I can’t. It seems that falling apart apart from you is all I can doI press ‘send’. The email flies away
While I lay my head in my hands. Tears fall
Wish I knew your number, wish I could callI just wish you weren’t so far away
Wish there was no hole, no ache in your heart
Wish I could take the dart of the sting of this tragedy. But I can’t.I know that I can pray for you always
But the longing just won’t leave me alone
Inside my heart aches and with each moanI have to pray words I would say if I
Could remind you that He’s with you and cry.
I have to pray He will hold you, He will comfort you. I’m here on my knees.Oh, how I wish the miles
Could melt away between our two hearts
I’ll have to fake the smiles
While inside my heart’s splinters apart
I want to be with you
I want to help you struggle through
But there’s too many miles
Between our two broken, breaking hearts
I am here just aching to comfort you
I can’t. It seems that falling apart apart from you is all I can doWe have to lift our hearts
Up to Him Who hears and heals every contrite soul
Jesus, he can console
Every aching and breaking part of our heartsYet how I wish the miles
Could melt away between our two hearts
I’ll have to fake the smiles
While inside my heart’s splinters apart
I know He’ll be with you
I know that He will carry through
And the too many miles
Cannot keep you apart from His arms.
But still I’m here longing to comfort you
I can’t. But I know falling apart apart from you’s not all I will doI’m sitting here, staring at the screen
As those jet black letters jump out at me.
