Inwardly Bound

For the secret love I can only admire from a distance. * sigh *

Silly sinner, you know I still love you.
I love your aversion to honesty,
fooling yourself feeling feelings for me.

Deep inside, we agreed not to promise each other,
choosing instead to fill space
with an energy greater than flesh.

You and I saw in silence more things than we knew,
two gifts comprehending a life -- one life
defined best by its own separations.

Desire is only desire; Emptiness cannot be filled.

Feeling these feelings, I know I'm alive.
