This girl tortures my heart, her beauty pulling at every limb
the knowing I will never have her
taunting me with only friendship, not even a taste to satisfy my hunger
all I get is a smile, a look, and all I feel is something I don’t want to, something that scares me
as my skin curls and boils, pulling me into thoughtless dreams, where not even there I can have her, not even there I can hold
weary my heart goes dry
as she unknowingly teases me till I’m old
and for some reason, that’s okay
