The Inner-Torture of Love

It is true, I’ve been so delusional
Straying away from reality
Desperation clouds my mind, and so does the lust
It is evident I refuse to let go
My attraction for you will not let it
I need to search for the words and try again
To free my tainted heart
To escape the void of love that is aching
If possible can I be given something new
I’m tired of standing motionless
Being caught in a parade of devoted inner-torture
Why can’t I see out of this tunnel vison
I want her, please her
I’m thinking too much
I’m fantasying too much
I’m hurting too much
All because I want to gaze at her beauty
Hold her
Be with her
This must burn, let the ashes of this love scatter
So I may leave with a clear continence
