    An Arm's Length



    An arm's length is all that I need
    to touch your skin and feel you breathe.
    An arm's length keeps me away
    from knowing the man I think of each day.
    An arm's length is all that I wish
    to learn some truths to add to my list.
    An arm's length is all you can do
    yet I continue to melt into you.
    An arm's length it couldn’t be clearer
    still I pray to have you nearer.
    An arm's length and 200 miles
    that I would drive to see your smile.
    An arm's length most wouldn’t endure
    but I'll take a chance on the one I adore.

    I can hear the longing of the main character of this poem. You have established the voice of the emotion well.

    i know exactly how that feels. to love someone and have them so close but so far away. its really a bitter sweeet feeling. great writting.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
