    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 tragedy

    I type out ‘I’m sorry’ on the screen
    Somehow those two words seem empty to me
    No heart, no soul, no sympathy

    Yet 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 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 do

    I press ‘send’. The email flies away
    While I lay my head in my hands. Tears fall
    Wish I knew your number, wish I could call

    I 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 moan

    I 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 do

    We 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 hearts

    Yet 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 do

    I’m sitting here, staring at the screen
    As those jet black letters jump out at me.
