Dictionary Fun

Though you scorn my love and look upon me as a loathed abomination, I can’t quell my passion for you nor turn off my admiration. Though it pains me deeply and I’m hurt by your rejection I struggle to conceal my yearning and to stifle my affection. I cherish our relationship knowing I must dim the flame, as I attempt to taste your tender lips and you call another’s name. I’m not trying to bamboozle, nor to trick you nor cajole. The bloom of our romance is gone and I've lost my inner soul.
