Love Poem: Kemmick

This pain I feel is unbearable 
I feel as though I am slipping into darkness 
I want you so bad, it is killing me 
This yearning, burning desire that is like fire 
Scorches my soul to blackened ashes 
The need to hold you close 
Over powers the thought of letting you go 
Can you see my torment? 
I try to keep it hidden within 
Yet I feel as though I may be failing 
Do you feel as I do? 
No, I do not believe that you do 
There is so much life flowing within you 
Yet beyond the happy smile, jokes, and laughs 
I sense sadness within you that you cannot let pass 
I sit here and imagine us happy together 
But then reality kicks in and I imagine you with another 
I wish that could be me you hold in your embrace 
I yearn to feel the warmth that you can provide 
Alas, not all wishes come true 
So I will shut my eyes and dream of you 
If only things were different 
Then maybe you and I could be 
But I will pretend nothing is wrong 
And be the friend you want and need
