Can Desire Kill?
By Hope Foleston

Could a person expire
From too much desire
Which is not returned?
And drown in the tears
They shed over the years
As their poor heart was burned?
Or die trying to hide
The love they felt inside
From an unfeeling swain?
But still manage to rise
Though with tears in their eyes
And love again?
