The Darkest of Trenches

heart clip art
In the trenches
deep and desolate
I wade through the ruins
though your love 
is enveloping me 
strong hands pushing
hair away from 
my tear stained face
willing smiles in my heart
as the sunlight within you
shines warmth upon my being
and sturdiness to my stance
gently but purposefully
reminding me 
that I can
and I will
survive
you are so far away 
yet, beside me
I feel it
heart clip art

Yes it is amazing how someone can be so close yet so far away - I love it. :)

well written poem. portrays the distance very well between the two. appropriate use of words keeps the poem tight and hits the spot where it matters. keep writing.
