You invoke passion and tenderness.
A fire contained inside my heart,
With no one to heat.

I feel your soul, but your heart not.

It is withdrawn,
Access forbidden.
Hurt in a previous life,
Love denied.

The fire burns slow
Refuses to cool.
But...
Time is the only healer
My words are not.

When you are ready,
I'll be here.
My soul warm
Ready to heal your fear.
