My Endless Flame

Inside my heart, this endless flame
Burns brighter as I call your name.
I'd revel in this endless bliss,
If only I could have one kiss;

And yet one kiss could never do,
When all I do is think of you.
You haunt my dreams, you break my heart,
You tear my soul and mind apart.

A masochist, I love this pain
That you inflict and yet refrain
From telling me you love or hate
Though love or hate are the same fate

For in my heart, this endless flame
Will burn for you just all the same.
Love me, hate me at the same time
In either case, you still are mine.

Love and hate breed from the same fire.
They're from the flames of one desire.
Mock me, tempt me, call me a fool
But you cannot deny the truth

You think of me just all the same
And just like me you call my name
When all alone where no one hears.
Loving me is your greatest fear.

The last stanza is my favorite. Really wraps the whole piece up.

I love it, everything about it makes so much sense. The perfect love poem for someone who doesnt love.
