My mind burns
With thoughts of you
You are etched into my brain
And I cannot shake you from my heart
My heart yearns
For you to be near me
Your touch still lingers on my skin
Even after all the days I have been away from you
You are so dangerous
Still, I cannot escape my desire
I have lost myself in others before
And I fear I will do the same with you, my love
I am afraid of being consumed
By such a powerful force
I fear becoming lost
Within your pain
I've been down those dark roads
Many times before, my love
The mystery of the path
Ensures my return
Misery is our only company it seems
As we trod the lonely road
Pain is not far behind us
The future is unknown

My mind burns
With thoughts of you
You are etched into my brain
And I cannot shake you from my heart
My heart yearns
For you to be near me
Your touch still lingers on my skin
Even after all the days I have been away from you
You are so dangerous
Still, I cannot escape my desire
I have lost myself in others before
And I fear I will do the same with you, my love
I am afraid of being consumed
By such a powerful force
I fear becoming lost
Within your pain
I've been down those dark roads
Many times before, my love
The mystery of the path
Ensures my return
Misery is our only company it seems
As we trod the lonely road
Pain is not far behind us
The future is unknown
