"Fanning the Flames"

There in the depths of my heart

Flames continue to brightly burn.

Strings that can't be torn apart

Flow like river of no return.

Burning with a red atmosphere

That creates a sensation

Of twisted roses that adhere

To the mood of the 'ccasion.

Here I am all pretentious,

Waiting softly for his remark.

After being so gracious,

I am left alone in the dark.

Left me with no choice but to chase,

Hoping to ever win this race.

Listen to his voice; call on his name.

Doing my best in fanning the flames.

As time passes, the heat dies

Slowly, leaving behind fragments.

Ways and ideas that have been tried

End up as big impediments.

There remains a constant heartthrob

That reveals my bashfulness

And makes my thoughts to a full stop

That ends up with no progress.

Though I've shown my other side,

The me that's way so different,

There's no way that I'll confide

How I feel in these events.

Though there seems no hope in this way,

I'll be just daydreaming all day.

My mind's stubborn to erase his name,

For it can't resist fanning the flames.
