Impossible Love

 
You come  
when I don't expect you  
then leave me broken  
and drowning  
in an ocean polluted by desire  
If only I could turn off your light  
but wishes and words  
form for fools like us  
to keep alive the fire  
Our impossible love  
makes martyrs  
knows no reason to tire
of verses that smoulder and burn
while the mail train rumbles  
at four am  
and the lines etch echoes  
ever deeper
into the night
