Long Distance Love

I've tried...Lord knows I've tried, to take you out of my head and forget all about you.

I've cried...God knows I've cried, as memories fade and I'm no longer lost without you.

I've wished...Christ knows I've wished, that our love be strong enough to stand the separation.

I've prayed...Heaven knows I've prayed, to hear your voice and fill me with elation.

I give up!...Jesus! I give up. I can't take this ache and pain and loss that I feel.

I know...Deep down I know...That the love we share could never be more real.

Well, I must say your first attempt is rather impressive.

 

My first writings are just plain rediculous. To this day, I have always been a phrase-less poet to be exact.  So you can imagine my beginnings compared to now. 

 

Splendid read Miss Mills

Thank you David. Your opinion

Thank you David.

Your opinion means so much to me.

"Phraseless poet?" What nonsense.

Your amazing poems have encouraged me to try.

I will never...Ever be as good as you but I'll enjoy trying to get better.
