A Lover's Torment

You came like a blazing fire Scorching everything I knew Through the flames, I admire With a love that's new Talking with a blissful voice Melting my heart with a fierce heat Overtaking me without a choice Knowing I could never cheat My thoughts travel towards you Tearing my soul in two Waiting for the soothing dew The lines of love becoming askew Tormented by your touch Fighting my one desire I've never hurt this much Waiting for this to backfire Should I leave you behind And live with my regret To end this soulish bind Ending my hearts secret Goodbye, my love This blaze is gone Waiting for this hole to move But my love for you will not be undone.
