Failed Feelings

In life’s desert, he is like a lost gust
Wishing for the rain to wash away the dust
When rain touched his heart’s crust
He was unaware of the impendin’ rust

Was he fallin’ for her fool’s gold
When he thought his heart was sold
He acted all bold & kept things on hold
Oblivious of the piling heavy load

Feels like there is a deep void to fill
Time is moving & he is standing still
Will he be stuck on this feeling forever
Is this an endless path to endeavor

He thinks it will be his bad end
As he fears his mind might bend
He chose this path he won’t defend
His naive heart hoped her to be a godsend

Still, he wants her to know
The feelings he failed to show
Weren’t merely love or lust
Four letter words could never do just
