Burning

Memories.
Memories of you
burn inside me
all day, and night.
I lie awake
wishing the head
would die so I
could rest in peace.

Thoughts
filled only of you
scald my skin,
sear me inside and
smoulder in my heart,
relentless, it won't cool
or let me hope
for love to find me again.

Endless
days are spent in
search of some
soul that is lonely,
one that could
maybe love me right
and care for me
like I care for them.

But
my hope is fading
and I can't cope
with the emptiness I
feel inside.
I want someone to
make me feel
happy once again.

Time
is passing me by,
so quickly that
it's hard to grasp the
reality of my pain.
Nothing makes me
smile the way
you did.
