Pyre

My heart has never felt this way

For anyone but you

I had given up on the idea of love

Until into my life you flew

 

You came into my life

Like a burning fire storm

Your energy was intoxicating

And your touch was always warm

 

So easily I fell in love

With your light that burned so bright

But it made it so I was blind to see

That something wasn’t right

 

Things were not as perfect

As I had let myself believe

But I’d caught a glimpse of a happy future

That I’d sacrifice anything to achieve

 

I constantly made the choice

Between loosing you or who I am

I let you burn away what made me me

And you still didn’t give a ****

 

Because you were doing the same

Burning away pieces of who you were

Doing whatever you could to impress

The new person you’d grown to prefer

 

I thought that you loved me too

But I guess I was naive

Cuz within a year of our last kiss

You’d be packing bags to leave

 

With your head up in the clouds

You flew off to live your new dream

You had found a new partner in crime

And I was once again a one man team.

 

Now there’s something I need to confess

I loved you more than you ever knew

But I will not cry for you anymore my love

Because you took my heart with you

 

So if you see me shed a tear

Its not over the severed ties

‘Cuz now the flames have all burnt out

And the smoke is in my eyes
