Literature Text

I am like an earth worm in love with a star,
A pile of ashes dazzled by the sun,
A sinner stunned by an angel.

And you walk past me,
Unaware.

I could drown in the ocean of your eyes,
Could ignite at the sound of your voice,
Could dissolve when you smile.

And yet you walk past me,
Unaware.
...

Something I wrote a while back after reading a particularly moving Romantic poem.
I had to write some sort of "reply" or rather, my take on the situation described.

I know it doesn't rime.
Also: allusions to literature. Can you guess some of the references?
