BURN

I feel you pushing

So far away

What do you fear?

This game I play?

The tables turned

The pawn I’ve become

At your mercy

Longing for no one

Else

Waiting to be

Wanting to be

Restless searching

Peering through

Emotions hidden

Seeing you

Concealing what

I yearn to have

Flesh under my fingertips

Delightful relapse

Waiting to be

Wanting to be

Moments composed

Of fleeting glances

What once was

A beautiful dance

Of fervent eyes

And lingering touches

I stand

Watching

As this fire dies

I am burned by

My own creation
