FLAME

|12•16•2020|

I thought my wishes of letting you go came true
When I stopped thinking my thoughts all filled by you.
Yet when I hear the song you sang once again,
Every honey-coated memories come flooding back in.

I believed I draped a dozen veils between us
But along with your steed you tore it all down.
I thought I was helping myself build walls but no,
I still lower my drawbridge whenever you're around.

You're an unstoppable flame that burns the back of my mind,
My heart thinks you're a one in a million find.
Foolishly it let you in, opened itself pretty wide.
Your burning sensation draws me, making me wildly blind.

I don't know when this one-track operetta end,
I'm not sure when I'll let myself mend
The cracks my heart earned when it let you in,
For I can't bring myself to extinguish your radiant flame.
