When You Are Far Away From Me (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

When you are so far away from me
there are only the days of missing you,
moments become empty without you
and then I live in hellish darkness.
Where destiny constantly gets hold of me
between you and me there is now distance
with the same sun that shines above us
and in love I constantly stay near.
Where loneliness is cutting me small,
it feels as if the sun is hiding our lives,
as if it does hope and faith suffocate
and for you my love remains intense.
Somewhere we are caught in things that hang,
between life and death in our great longing.
