Burning Desire

by Kally Ketchum

A free-verse, dark poem about Satoshi's feelings for Shigeru I wrote when I was extremely depressed.

Burning Desire

I see your face....

and I love it.

But it is so cold.

I hear your words

they are cruel,

tearing away at my heart like a thousand knives.

The pain in my heart can only be healed by one thing......

your love.

Could you ever love me, Shigeru?

Even through all your harshness

I can't stop loving you.

So much I want to touch your distant heart.....

and kiss your tainted lips.

You are so hostile....

but something in you holds me

and I can't go away,

The bitter rivalry that separates us cannot stay forever

I ever we could love, we should love each other.

I feel your coldness, Shigeru.....

I feel it all the time.

So deep are my feelings for you

that I could write your name in my own blood on paper and let everyone know that I love you.

I will never be able to escape these feelings, Shigeru.....never.

You are engraved in my heart,

emblazoned in my soul,

and have carved your mark in the pathways of my mind.

~ Satoshi
