Flame Still Burns

And all the dreams

I've ever felt

Failing to reach or comprehend

The essence of you ...

And all the times

I've feared for you

I've shut the door and passed right through

The flame burns for you

The emptiness in me

Was filled with you within

All the hope you sowed in us

I've crushed and turned to dust

My Flame still burns

Hurting you,

I'm bleeding too

With every breath

I breathe

With every sight

I see Yet whence

I am falling down

You've put your arms around

My flame still burns

Hurting you,

I'm bleeding too

Beneath the hollow skies

Your gentle, sunken smile

Slow sway of your white breast

Slumbering breath upon my chest

I've shattered, ripped and torn

But still you came for more

All the pain

I've put you through

My flame still burns for you

My flame still burns

Hurting you,

I'm bleeding too
