Back Burner

A simmering flame, a love on hold, A heart on the back burner, a story untold. A waiting game, a love unfulfilled, A yearning for connection, a heart unsealed. To be placed on the back burner, a bittersweet plight, A love in limbo, a longing for light. The hope remains, a flicker in the night, That one day, the flame will burn oh so bright. But patience is tested, as time slips away, The back burner's warmth, can feel cold as the day. The longing for closeness, the need for a hold, Can leave a heart aching, a story untold. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, a strength can reside, A resilience in waiting, a love that won't hide. For the back burner's flame, can still ignite, With a chance for connection, and love shining bright. So let us hope, for the back burner's embrace, That love will find its way, and find its place. For even a simmering flame, can burn with desire, To find a love that's true, and set the soul afire.
