facsimilie heart

precious temptation
i hold you in my heart
unattainable
captivated
you have me but i
can't have you
caught in this mess
this abyss
you are silent as i
pour out of my depths
and give you what is mine
what is dear.
uncomfortable
unsure
of what it's worth
unrequited
heard it before
same song different verse
sing the chorus backwards
i'll lie and say it doesn't hurt.
