Robert Burton Poet Choka

Lover Who Is Forever Nameless

I shall never give you a name 
nor shall I express my desires..
It's like a myth with a tale nor 
a story to follow.
Yet I wonder if you know? I 
wonder if you have the 
slightest hint of my affection? 
Probably not.
Your probably never going to 
read this or even take notice of 
my empty request.

Thus I sit here on an empty 
beach waiting for nobody to 
notice me.
Instead jealous eyes of "forget 
me nots" follow my ever move 
as if to mock the meaning of 
heaven themselves.
I am tired of this... I am tired 
of playing this mindless game.

I should probably stop writing 
into the sky now for the stars 
have already left me alone. 
Alone in the back seat of a 
memory soon forgotten along 
with old houses and students 
pretending to know adult life.

Love do you know who you 
are?
Do you know your name?
I'm talking to you.

Save me.

Robert Burton
