There is a burning;

a fire of love in me. 

It burns intensely for you. 

Though you may try,

you will never extinguish it. 

I sit and watch the birds chirp.

I feel the wind blow.

They whisper your name to me, 

and my fire is reignited ever-blazing. 

Your beauty, your smile, your laugh,

your everlasting kiss

burn within me as I pray for more.

Then one day, your fire was smothered.

The clouds gathered,

the thunder clapped, 

a treacherous storm of pain rained down on us. 

You sailed away, you weren’t ready for the storm. 

You have abandoned me on this desolate island of love. 

I sit and wait on the shores of our island, waiting,

knowing that my love, my fire for you, will always keep me warm.
