Pulse pounding, heart racing, thoughts of you
Tearing me to shreds inside.
The tatters of my feelings for you hang like
Trash on a fence.

All I gave, to you, FOR you.
My heart is empty as a fool's
Head, hollow as a drum.
But my soul, oh, my soul!

My soul is on fire!
Burning, hot to the touch.
Ready to love, but scared to lose.
How can I be both at once?

Every fiber straining, yearning.
Reaching for ecstasy, yet
Fleeing for my very life
From affection.

Will I ever again suffer
One sweet caress?
Is happiness, is bliss
Forever denied?

Hands roaming, fiery kisses
On my lips, my throat, on you,
Exploding my passion, rocking
Me to my core as our essences
Intermingle with each other.

Hope dashed, wish denied or dream deferred?
