Two Lovers Apart

written for my creative writing class about my "obsession" about my friend

What started as
A teenage romance
so full of lust.
Ten years now,
we can’t part.

Utter attraction
The heated way
you make me melt.

Long hard jaw.
Scruff upon your chin.
Dull blue eyes,
from the sadness,
you bury deep.

Your simple mind,
Scrambled by war.
a dark mystery
surrounds you.
how dark were
your demons?

Four long years
without your touch,
we struggle to reconnect.
Two lovers drifted apart.

My undivided attention
my undying love
absolutely devoted to you.
Is it enough?

The clothes I wear,
the length of my hair,
my explicit sexuality
all for you.
Is it enough?
I’m the only one
you can talk to
yet you won’t speak.
Please open up
to me.
