I need to, somehow,
Let you know,
How this fire inside me,
Beyond bounds, I've let it grow,
That I find it arduous,
Anymore to contain,
Take away, take away,
What is yours for certain.
I have waited all this while,
My eyes searching far and wide,
Praying for you to come once more,
And wipe away the tears I cried.
The hope is lost, now I know,
Such, will never happen, again,
You've left, and the fire still burns,
But in vain, oh, how in vain.
