You Bamboozle Me

I am an abomination Worthy of your scorn There can be no affection for one such as I I will never know your passion I am left yearning I struggle to hold onto the possibility of us My attempt is but a foolish dream Still I cherish the sound of your voice I value this bambooziling relationship The flame of you is engraved on my heart I taste your scent on my lips I long for your tender touch My inner soul crys out If I receive but one kiss, my heart will fully bloom Dictionary fun...#1...

I had to use all the words for the dictionary contest. Glad you liked it. Bamboozle was a tough one to use in a sentence.
