The Burning of Incapacity

No one but you has ever...
touched me this deeply.

When did you last ask after me?
You don't want to know...
how much I wait for you!

How long will you keep me at this distance?
As long as rain falls, keep me close.

I am so weary—
no melody moves me anymore.
To return to the nest of unwanted feelings...
I have no desire left.

To forget you... 
doesn't it hurt me?

Why could the one I love never... feel—
the intensity of my pain!

How wrong my wounds were
to mistake his touch... for their own!

So many words gather in my mind,
I cannot write them.
So many sighs lie stored in memory, 
I cannot weep them.
So much hurt accumulates within, 
I cannot make it known.
