Love is a burning fire


Love is a burning fire

Glow of flames flaring up

Spreading quickly crackling and snapping

Burning impatiently

As the flame gets closer and closer

Your heart is stripped away with fear and panic

Regrets overtake you of why you lighted up the candle

You didn’t hear the sirens telling you to leave

You stayed hoping it will someday get better

Now it’s haunting you with a red blaze

Painfully suffocating you with the damp air

Many waters can’t bear the roaring of the flames

By grace you’re rescued and find yourself on a lumpy bed

Hearing the sound of beep beep beep….

Your body is wrapped with a cord of wires

Your love life is destroyed in your sight

You’re full of emotions

All is left in your heart is burned ashes

He’s in a prison and the treasure you thought you had has vanished
