Missing You

There's an ache that never fades,
There's a pain that never dies,
There's a hope that can't be killed,
There's a wish for time that flies.

There are dreams you're always in,
There are thoughts you're always on,
There's a heart that you have taken,
There's a gap where you belong.

There are fears that I will lose you,
That I'll fail to hold your gaze,
That this distance will defeat us,
That I'll fade into the haze.

But I'd give anything to see you,
Renounce all for your touch,
I'd pay millions to have you hold me,
For my heart's bound in your clutch.

And I know I have my duties,
Our country I defend,
But that will never stop my longing
For this loneliness to end.

    Very well structured and expressed poem of a longing heart. I really liked the flow and intensity of how it must feel to so far apart. Great Job!

    Very beautiful and very touching. I wasnt actually in the situation but I dated a fellow soldier when I was in and we feared the samething you describe in this poem. You poem is also very much what I fear in my current relationship. Also the poem was written extremely well.

    Very nice. The flow is great until the last two stanzas where it gets a little wordy. Otherwise it's a good write. Happy trails and stay saf.

    Wow, this is a wonderful poem, I really like it... I like the flow, the rhyme scheme, and I like how it actually says something meaningful, not just something that it looks like someone wrote to just have a poem on their page. Great job on this piece, thank you for sharing and good luck in the rest of your writing.
