the pain of a longing heart

pain in my heart
a longing that cannot be stilled
by anything but your heart
close to mine.

a pain that goes deep
that opens
that destroys me
and kisses me to life again.

i once has a thousand desires
but in my one desire for you
all other desires melted away.

peace only felt
in the sweetness of our skins touching.

your warmth allowing
my seeking heart to arrive.

your absence
making me suffer
as if my being was ripped apart.
