Losing Flame for May I be Burned

It is but for once a while Stars align A destiny only said as divine And can be reached through trial By fire My life already strung By but a single wire For what battles already waged My breath still hung In memories seemed staged Through the eyes of the blind Obsessed in fights without valor Just to enact a house divided Forgotten to what is kind And guarded without armor Wandered alone in desert My thirst substantial to wither What strength I remain Held to the light by the Seraphim So I may ever be alert To one day be with her No matter how far I go insane No matter how big I dream For it was she that helped me see What I was becoming For it was she that saw The potential for it all And allowed my strength to build To handle the life that is upcoming With energy vigorous and raw Unshaken by the ethereal brawl So my demons would finally be killed As the final war let out its cry The storms that came shook With every roar She found reason to hide Aching my heart to look As my lungs ran sore Pleading with every thought To comfort her yet again Too afraid I left her So she ran for another I tried to do the same Spreading lies with claim To cloud what I saw as love With mere disdain But in time I realized The words she said to me during it all were true So I took steps to begin anew To undo all hatred I had wrought And keep the losing flame Running high No matter my reach in fame For I may be burned When I work the courage to say I am still in love with you
