Confusion

9 2 0
                                    

Strip me of my soul.
Without you, I was never
Utterly whole.

Always longed for more.
Feelings hitting rocks
Of a sharp edged shore.

The sand cut deep.
Your smile still left me,
Incomplete.

Still I burn hearing
My name on your lips,
Fearing

A heart swollen
With sweet troubled fires
Might be stolen

Might be kept
Don't know what to do,
I feel trapped.
