Consumed

by Johnny - Capricorn

you say to call you
and trust me, in a second i would
even for no reason (to simply say hi)
but what can i possibly say 
to not further estrange you
any more than that day.
When the things i burn to tell you
continue to be,
simply how just the thought of you,
unforgivingly eats at me
it's not that i want to choose
not to do things, like not go to sleep
but it's cuz i know,
because of your ramadan and/or stressful mind
is keeping YOU,
from your much needed sleep.
And since I don't have the "boyfriend" status
to care for you, in the manner your heart is searching
as your friend,
i will forever lend my ear to you,
all hours of the day
willing to share in your despair.
I'd do so much more
if you only asked me to,
but i've yet to clearly know,
if there's a slightest chance with you.
Until then, 
this consumption will never,...let me go.
