On the Other side of the bars.

what its like for me to have a loved one in jail.

You could say I’m on the bright side of the bars.

The cold bars, which hold you captive.

But its not so bright on this end.

How can it be when you’re not here?

 

Sometimes I catch myself staring at your picture.

Wishing I could see the real thing right in front of me.

My body gets all nervous, and vulnerable.

I urge for your touch.

 

Your strong warm arms around me,

I would feel so safe,

Just to even hear your voice,

That would be an amazing thing right now.

 

But phone calls only limit what I want to express.

I want to hold your hand,

Fold my fingers with your just right.

I want to lay my head on your chest,

And feel your heart beat beneath my ear.

 

The nights get cold,

Your Jacket is my only comfort.

I’ll sleep,

And my dreams are flooded with you.

 

I’ll write to you,

And wait in anticipation for your reply.

I’ll send you pictures.

Hold on to those,

And remember you have a reason to get out.

 

I don’t know how long till I get to touch you again,

I only wish and pray for the shortest time.

Do you see why I tell you I love you more?

Who else would put their selves through this?

But me?

 

So ill sit here,

Wait,

Until we can touch again.

I love you.

I wish these bars would just go away.

most people have experienced at one time or another, heartfelt
and clearly spoken, the reader can fell this poem almost as f it were
teardrops of the tormented kind, amazing job here, keep it up.
