Craving in Silence
Your breath lingers, though you're not here, A phantom touch I hold so dear. Your scent, your warmth, still haunt the air, A burning ache I cannot bear. Eyes that lock with unsaid desire, A silent spark ignites the fire. I feel your hand, though it’s not near, A shadowed caress I long to revere. The curve of your lips, the depth of your gaze, Pulls me closer in a lover's daze. Yet fate stands guard, a cruel, cold wall, Keeping us apart through it all. The brush of your skin, the heat it would bring, Is a song I crave but cannot sing. I see you, I feel you in every beat, A tempest of longing I cannot defeat. If I could, I’d close this space, Trace your body, memorize your face. But I’m stranded here, in this cruel divide, With every touch my heart’s denied. In every fleeting, stolen glance, I feel the depth of our unchanced dance. Forever wanting, forever denied, Yet still I burn, with you inside .
