Bent on obtaining your heart,
endless is the agony i throw myself into,
trying so very hard to get to you,
escaping the depression that stalks me; evading a poison dart,
left my pain behind in forgotten memories,
high and mighty i may seem...
ego-broken and weak, i truly am...desperately clinging to dreams...
my heart finds release in the things i write, these fantasies...
An angel like you,
lent me light, when i was blind,
ecstatic;the very thought of you, plunges my mind into madness,
my soul drifts among the clouds, waiting for you to feel the same as i do,
and your voice echoes, every single day, in my ear,
yet i am gripped by a great sense of sadness, because you don't know,
easy for me to say it, harder for me to show..
hungry for your affection, patience is strained, waiting here...
Unacquisitive you may be, but i intend to do the impossible, and make you fall for me...
Author notes
well, yes, the name is Betelhem Alemayehu, although she just goes by betty. 
although, its not technically a one word acrostic, notice it still all matches, i also used a few different elements, there are some sonnet like qualities in it too.
