Hopelessly Burning

A Poem

By Ashley MeghanPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

you know you mean so much to meyou're my heartmy lightmy starbut in text these words are emptythey are coldand no matter how hard I tryI cannot breathe my love into themhot enough so that you can feel

close your eyes for meand imagine us by a fireit glows and flickers but never waneslisten, listenthis is me for youendlessly smolderinghopelessly burningpowerful and wild and rooted in life

I love youyesI love you

and as sharp as the whip-crack of daybreakI feel the pain of wanting yousweet, bittersweet, bitter, sweetover and over and over once moreI ask, I pray, I breathe and breathehold me tightkeep me close

I love you
