You used to say you loved the fire in my eyes, The light in my soul, The passion in my life. I used to love the way you smiled, The way you held me, So close and so tight. It couldn't all just be lies, So I tore down all the walls blocking my heart, And I let you inside. The rhythm of your voice kept me hypnotized, And I fell into the deep abyss of you. Now the reason why I laughed, And the reason why I cried myself to sleep at night, I was your sweet sacrifice. And now every time I watch you walk away, A little bit of the fire in my eyes, Slowly and surely, Dies. away.
A girl I went to school with wrote this about her ex girlfriend. I thought it was beautiful and I related so strongly to it that I asked her for a copy.
