Apart

What is a heart that none can mend

Leaving him there for the days work

I stir longingly at home with this ache

Wishing the day would end

He writes he feels the same

His heart breaks when he can’t hear my voice

But the morning dew still sits on the daisies

Time apart is cruel game

We wander far alone

But still somehow feel each others warmth

Going about our day’s bewilderment

Having the warmth, not touching the heart is sadness in our bones

Finally the sun starts to get drowsy

I hear the engine roar as he drives in

I paint my smile to make him happy

It’s been a long haul, I don’t want him feeling lousy

He comes in through the door

He can tell the day I’ve had

I can tell the work was hard

We need not say anymore

He envelopes me in the most amazing grasp

It’s hard to paint a smile when I feel happy

I breathe and pull in closer

At last our hearts we clasp
