Description
This burning in my heart, I must hold you close.I need to keep you near to me,
in case my longing grows too much
I cannot bear to lose you.
You soul and mine are twined
too tight to make heads and tails
of either. Your breath my music;
without your voice, I'd pine.
I want to keep you like an oath,
tightly bound to me. For then I cannot
loose you, and can keep my memories.
I need to keep you like an oath,
for my sake, but yours as well.
Our fates are twisted into one,
though, two hearts we can boast.
But, as much as I need you near,
I know I must let you go.
To keep you close would only
smother the one I hold too dear.
The tears I shed do bitter fall,
as I watch you go. My heart,
it breaks apart, a tearing of my soul.
And then, in glee, I see you run
to me as you, too, feel
the tearing of soul and breaking heart
as we again are whole.

The poem sounds a little pathetic - i.e. a little too bluntly sentimental and dramatic.
I do adore that line which you bring up a couple of times, also in the title.

I like it. The structure you use is a nice pacing. I've yet to find a way to do that in my own verses.
A couple small typos; notedly s4l3 "[Out] fates are twisted" should likely be [Our] and s5l1 "But, [a] much as" should likely be [as]. Also, you use "loose" a couple times where it feels like "lose" might fit interchangeably if not a bit more easily. Is that for style?

Thanks for pointing those errors out..... I get confused with "loose"/"lose" way too often -.- The others were mostly jut typos.

Those errors were prolly due to my own typing & the fact that I still confuse lose & loose all the time -.- It's rather embarrassing.
Thanks for pointing them out; I'll fix them the next time I'm procrastinating.

Don't worry much about the lose/loose bit. It seems to be super common. I don't see it, but my brain is wrinkled backwards.

I think it has to do with how close they sound--& it's only a difference of 1 letter?
