The love I bear, a violent ache,
A storm within I cannot break.
You bind my soul, you chain my heart,
Demanding silence—tearing me apart.

Each whispered thought, each word unsaid,
Becomes a ghost that haunts my bed.
My love, unspoken, festers deep,
A burning wound that will not sleep.

Can you not hear my silent screams?
My shattered hopes, my dying dreams?
You ask me to suppress this fire,
To quell the ache, the raw desire.

But how can I obey your plea,
When love like this was meant to be?
You take and take, yet still deny,
And leave me here to slowly die.

Oh, selfish soul, you cage me so,
Afraid of love you claim to know.
Do you not see the scars you leave,
The broken man who cannot grieve?

I fear the day my heart gives way,
When all this love will waste away.
My final breath, regret’s embrace,
A tear-streaked mask upon my face.

How cruel you are, to steal my light,
To plunge my world in endless night.
This torment grows, this sorrow feeds—
A love condemned, a heart that bleeds.

Would you have me wither, bound and still,
A hollow shell, bereft of will?
You sentence me to silent pain,
A lifetime lost—a lover slain.
