Love Poem: Desire

Desire

Desire crushes, Despair grips. 
The passion I feel is so hard to resist. 
Free me from this unimaginable desolate. 
Take my thoughts, my memories and make me forget. 

Infatuation runs through my veins. 
Pretending I don't love you drives me insane 
and when I look into your eyes 
It's causing me so much pain. 

Sometimes I feel- 
feel that you more then 'just care' 
other times you're distant and cold. 
Like whenever she is there. 

When I see you with her 
my heart twists inside; 
beating with frantic hope 
that your desires have not yet died. 

I'm tired of hiding these feelings. 
Be honest - tell me how you feel. 
You can't keep hiding, 
the desires are real.
