Love Poem: Wildfire

Wildfire

I opened my heart to you
Knowing it was wrong
You came into my life, like a wildfire
Scorching every thought besides the ones of you
You imprinted a picture of you on the front page of my mind
Leaving me with a burning desire to be with you
My mind is a projector, projecting pictures of you
I can see your elegant smile
Your beautiful penetrating eyes
Your forever amazing beauty
I can't shut it off or stop it
I want to see you, hear you, feel you
But now the wildfire has smoldered out
The fire put out by the gushing waters of heartbreak
Knowing I can't be with you, a form of hell
I try to forget but I can't help going back
I can't sleep, can't think, can't move without you on my mind
I know I need to let you go
To know you're with someone else, a greater torture
Looking at pictures of you, rages the wildfire memories
All that remains now, burn scars, of a once pleasant wildfire
I need to move on from this now tormented wasteland
Living through the scars is the only way to see you
Then I'll carry the burden of reliving this broken down wildfire.
