Torched

Like a flame burning through,
my veins, my heart, as if to strangle it,
I feel your thoughts crush, cripple my soul,
to unleash a pain, that makes me shiver,
I fall to the ground, when I hear your name,
as if my legs give up, they seem to die away,
I feel in me a poison rise,
the absence that engulfs my mind,
as if like fire, burns me from within,
the love I have treasured for you,
the same that makes you hate me,
the same that makes me crave for you,
though I burn in this hellfire of loving,
where I am to be ignored and hated by you,
the fire keeps me alive,
the fire burns in my soul now,
the fire is my soul now,
I was dead the day you left.
