there was a fire burning in us

we put it out with alcohol and cigarettes

we put it out with late nights

and *** fights

we put it out with our bodies making love under starlight

oh and how that fire burned

while we yearned

for forbidden things our parents never tell.

there was a fire burning in us, and we walked through hell.

there was a fire burning,

in our eyes you saw it glimmering

ya we threw up,

but we grew up,

and now the fire’s only simmering.

What is love?
Is it the touch of your hand? 
The beating of two hearts as one?
I guess I just don't understand..
Is it something that just happens?
Or is it  more planned?

Her face twisted
a mask of grotesque
all joy wrung out
by griefs tourniquet

I thought I loved once,
But in reality it was lust.
It was that way for many months,
Until one day i saw him with her.

She had hair of gold,
And lips ruby red.
But her heart was oh so cold.
So I left him with her.

They deserved each other.
Both only after one thing.
I know I will recover,
but It will take some time.

This throat is raw
From the fire in my heart
It scalds the esophagus
As it works its way up
And makes it hard to
Tell you the way I feel
And tasting you isn't the same
And I'm choking on every word
I didn't say
Vowels and consonants all fail me
And stupid girls
Don't win a ******* thing
Except self destruction anyway
And there ain't no gift receipt
For that
