Heartstrings

This I love to do:
Just to write for you.
My passion and my love
Is to make you feel above.

How long must I chase
Just to see your lovely face?
I wish to have you by my side,
For our paths to collide.

This is my greatest desire:
But to feel your inner fire,
Just to have you here,
For you to be so near.

I wish to hear the rhythmic beat
Of your heart, so very sweet.
To keep you here is my greatest goal,
As the sound it heals my soul.

In my greatest dreams, you do exist,
But in reality, this pain does persist;
As you are always out of reach,
Then, my heart this does breach.

Worse than this wall between you and I,
A pain is greater, I will not deny.
To see you courted by another
Is a pain below just one other.

No greater a pain I will say,
Than that I am unwanted any way.
This all comes as feelings and thoughts,
All of which draw my heart strings taught.

If only you existed here,
Not just as a thought to appear.
So, in others I do confide,
Though I search far and wide.
