> without remorse, it begins  
> this deep dark churning  
> within my heart  
> let go, surely  
> but alas, ever so slightly  
> like kindling, ignited then blown upon  
> it gently rises  
>  
> I am human, and this need grows  
> this wanting for more, for all of her  
> consumes me like a fiery flame  
> on a hot summer night  
>  
> I wish I could make you understand,  
> how this feels, this passion  
> this burning inferno,  
> like the raging of a sea storm  
> and the brightness of a thousand stars  
>  
> I wish I could make you see,  
> what this does to me, this need  
> this ultraviolet ray  
> cutting, like knives in a fistfight  
> burning, like shrouds under a clear sky  
>  
> but I cannot  
> so, I shall use my words  
> to the stars I shall cry  
> with the sound of a thunderhead  
> I shall shout, with the voice of a thousand echoing drumbeats  
>  
> I shall tell them   
> of this yearning within me  
> heavy, like the weight of a million dying stars  
> like the burden of a thousand lifetimes of regret  
> pushing one to the edge of insanity  
>  
> and yet, a moment with her  
> silence  
> like that of a shelter or a moment under a bridge  
> of peace from the thunderstorm  
>  
> I’d stretch this moment into infinity  
> just so I could see her smile  
> one more time  
> and know, without an iota of a doubt  
> that happiness is real  
>  
> oh, to yearn
