I cried myself to sleep each night
The turmoil in my head not ceasing 
Thoughts of you tumbling through my head
The hurt, flaming through my body

The flames-
  Engulf me
Your soul-
  Suffocates me
The love- 
  Kills me

It's not you
...it's me
I can’t love you openly.
But I do love you

My soul-
  Holds you gently
My heart-
  Loves you deeply
My mind-
  Cries out for you

Look deeper, when you look into my eyes
Feel me tremble when you hold me
I cower at your intensity
I run from your heart

My tears- 
  Are searing
Your touch-
  Is scalding
Our love-
  Is leaving
My soul-
  ...Is crying
