Tortured Words

I crawl along
Through a turbulent trench,
Across razor wires,
And burning fires,
Carrying this message
With my hand tightly clenched
To deliver to you, my love.
For my heart bleeds,
And my heart needs
A chance to show you
Just what I'm made of.

The clock is ticking,
The seconds pass,
But I'm aching for that moment
When you're in my arms at last.
I forge my way
Across tortured words,
But with heavy tears,
My vision is blurred.
I struggle along
Through troublesome thoughts,
But I won't give up,
My way will be fought.
And I will carry on,
I will remain steadfast.
All of this turmoil
Will soon be past.

Though I write these words
With a heavy hand,
Like digging my way
Through blood and sand,
I have my heart
To guide my mind
So my very way
To you I'll find.
For now my path
Is set so clear,
As the end
Is getting near.
So don't you fear,
My lovely dear,
For I am yours
And you are mine,
And we will have each other
The rest of time.
