Merciless, you are-
Plaguing my every thought
A dream I cannot seem to wake from
A reality that I cannot grasp
How tight my skin grows
How hot my blood runs
How fast my heart beats
At the mere sighting of your soul
How traitorous and wicked my thoughts turn
At the mere thought that you could be mine
That I could press my flesh to yours
And sing you to sleep with the sweetest lullabies
But for now fleeting touches will do
I'll get by on hidden jokes and smiles
Stay by your side till the end of our days
Love you in secret, faith unwavering and true…
