Kivutar

My love’s like a candle with never-ending flame,
Anxious to warm and please, but result’s still the same,
I disclose my heart’s fire, open it wide for you,
Despite my best efforts, it burns me through and through.

Exposing my bare soul to rejection and spurns,
Never meeting with like love, causes severe burns.
Over the years, nonetheless, not a feeling changed,
Forgetting hasn’t come, instead more desire hatched.

Persistent pang’s been my love’s lasting companion,
Admitting though, life can’t like this go on and on,
I’m done, I’ve given up e’er giving up on you,
Never again will I look for somebody new.
