Love Poem: Desperation

Desperation

i feel my heart slowly crawling back to you
your availability calls to its loneliness
whispers hope to it's pain
promises happiness to erase its depression
i know you caused me pain
and i tell my hungry heart to stay away
i warn myself not to touch the fire again
but my heart sings a song of desperation

i wonder if i had too badly burnt that bridge
the one that connected my heart to the one beating within you
but even if i hadn't 
and that link still remains
do i want it there?
do i want to walk that path and travel that road again
where it led me to nights crying in bed wishing you loved me
no
i don't, i don't need anymore heartbreak in my life

i hope i could find someone
someone whos not you
someone i can give all my love to
and get it in return
so my eyes wont search for you
and my heart wont call your name
and my lips wont long for yours
so i don't have to worry about that bridge

and just let it burn
