J) Murdered Emotions

I want to strike a match
And burn the world,
Until my light
Is all that shines
In the deserts
Of the night,
Just to hide
How much you mean to me.

Already kept
Buried in shallow grave
And lonely wood,
The corpse of my affection,
The secret love
That lingers on my lips
Whenever I look into your eyes.

Slaughtered by my timid heart,
Betraying my trust
Like a serial killer's souvenir,
My murdered emotions.
