Craving Heart
She trembles ev’ry time she sees his face.
She wonders what her life’s blood will become.
He can never hold her in warm embrace.
She hears his voice, senses desire’s disgrace—
A longing in her brain—rattling—undone.
She trembles ev’ry time she sees his face.
Their lips will never touch; they have no place.
Their hearts will never meet and beat as one.
He can never hold her in warm embrace.
Her bones must learn to withstand time’s cruel pace.
Time’s yearning will brittle them, one by one.
She trembles ev’ry time she sees his face.
Her craving heart must endure flames that race
With every thought of touching she must shun.
He can never hold her in warm embrace.
Her blood will burn with flames that love will chase
As passion spills its ink but is outrun.
She trembles ev’ry time she sees his face.
He can never hold her in warm embrace.
