He loves me, he loves me not
We're meant to be, or so I thought
My heart is broken, the pain is real
I long for peace, from all I feel

I fake a smile, so no one knows
I mimic strength, lest weakness shows
I refuse surrender, I stand and fight
I must succeed, and so I write

The ink it flows, pours from my pen
It heals my heart, and I can breathe again

Minutes into hours, hours into days
The love I held so tightly, starts to fade away
The pain begins to lessen, the tears no longer fall
Seemed misery was forever but it's not that way at all

Those nights you haunt my dreams
Are now few and far between
When memories overtake me, I know I'll be alright
I know now what to do....and so I write

The ink it flows, pours from my pen
It heals my heart and I can breathe again
Yes, I can breathe again.

he tells her not to worry
he'll only leave at her command

she loves him in a hurry
afraid he'll leave again

a love that burned with a fury
and just as easily slipped through their hands

The fire crackles
Flames licking toward freedom
Fading out as soon as they reach too far, too selfishly
I blink
She stands, lonely and alone
Hair tumbling wildly down her back
He opens the door and looks for a moment
In this silent eternity she doesn't notice
I blink
I walk to her
Touching her cheek fondly
Lifting her chin, she looks in my eyes
Sadness, pain, and tears
Smeared across her face
Brushing the hair behind her eyes
I press my lips to hers
I blink
I slip my arms around her
Settling my hands in the small of her back
I whisper softly into her ear
And hold her tight
I blink
He dips her back and kisses her
Lifts her up, carries her to the candlelit room
And lays her down on the bed
He lays behind her
Holding her in his arms
She holds his hands in hers
And smiles
I blink
Passions play in the flickering flames
A thousand untold stories hidden
The fire crackles
I blink
