* DO THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME *

Each moment drags like heavy chains of night,
As memories entwine with fading light.
In every sigh that breaks upon the air,
I count the ways I long for you despair.

What joy was mine when once we shared our days,
Now absence grips my soul in tangled ways.
With every heartbeat echoes of your name,
The fire of longing stokes a wild flame.

My love! The distance deepens with each hour,
And know I miss you more than heart can power.
