I Can't Tell You How Deeply I Care

We displayed all the reasons how,
Letting alone the reasons why

I look at you,

And want you.

Your smile brings me close

To a home, warm couches waiting.

Looking out the window at a budding maple

I need to see you

Sitting nearby for class,

At your desk when passing by, 

Approaching as I turn the corner.

Hearing the wind through the window's cracks, 

I need your voice to come to me,

The day about which to talk,

At least a text to say hello,

How'd it go,

Good for you.

While the pain smolders

The last of my carbon gasps for air.

It is life in chambered pressure that consumes

A spirit and yields a heart,

Released after burning

Much truth

Such power

Love reborn.
