Temper and Tranquility - F*** This Distance

From the album More than I Can Bear
This song focuses on my relationship with my fiancee. We are an ocean apart. I feel like my problems compound her own, and I wish there was more I could do to help her. I love her so much.
Verse 1
Distance divides us, a chasm I cannot traverse for her comfort.
Every damn day, her battles rage on, and I sit here in torment.
Words that I send, like arrows, they falter; they soften mid-flight.
How do I soothe her, to banish the sorrow that haunts every night?
Fingers that ache for her cheek find the void, and I shatter in silence.
Distance, you bastard, you steal every hope, and you leave me in violence.
Chorus
I love you so much, I wish I could help.
I’d hold you forever and shatter your hell.
I’m sorry, my love, that I’m stuck so far.
But know in my soul, you're my brightest star.
Verse 2
Soft are her whispers, her tremors of need that no hug could deliver.
Harder my fury, that steel cannot shatter this cold, cursed river.
What is the point of this world, if it keeps us so broken, so still?
Why do my hands feel like shadows, unable to answer her will?
Tell me, you gods of the air and the void, why the fuck can't I hold her?
Distance, you bastard, you laugh as I fight, but I’ll tear you asunder.
Chorus
I love you so much, I wish I could help.
I’d hold you forever and shatter your hell.
I’m sorry, my love, that I’m stuck so far.
But know in my soul, you're my brightest star.
Breakdown (Aeolic Verse)
I’d kill the void, tear through the night,
If I could hold her trembling fight.
She wants to feel my arms, my heat,
But I am shadows, cold defeat.
I’m so fucking tired of this empty space,
Her tears echo loud in this cursed place.
Still, my words are hers; I vow, “Hold on.”
Somehow, someday, this pain will be gone.
Chorus
I love you so much, I wish I could help.
I’d hold you forever and shatter your hell.
I’m sorry, my love, that I’m stuck so far.
But know in my soul, you're my brightest star.
Outro (return to dactylic hexameter)
My love, though we’re trapped in the pull of this cruel, endless tide,
Know that your cries are my cries, and your fight is my fight to the end.
Distance be damned; I will build us a bridge out of fury and fire.
