Taking a Toll on my Heart

In every person I meet,
There is something I desire,
A person to unfold my heart,
A hand to hold,
Lips to whisper love untouched
By the light of day.
And yet I feel so
Completely
And tirelessly alone.
For every person whose kindness sparks my heartstrings,
There is a fire burning at my chest.
And for every admiration,
There is the fear of past regrets.
If only I could rejoice in the sun,
But I have no one.
