Burned by Love
By Nomar Knight
Flames flicker
Stinging wounded
soul
Heavy heart gasps
for breath
And I ask why
Fighting for
survival
Refusing to die
In spite of
confusing swirl
Still wondering why
Just a puppet
On a violent string
Intense heat lashing
So I scream why
Reach towards light
Quickly extinguished
By despairs choking
smoke
Oh why oh why
Sharper than a
double edge blade
Tears of blood
Adds to the misery
Please tell me why
Blanketed by despair
Swallowed by evil's
abyss
Yet I refuse to lose
Want to know why
Though love can
illuminate
It also brings pain
Must fight on till
death
Can you see why
Cause I'm stubborn
Refuse to allow
Loves burning flames
Conceal the why
The answer
Because we are worth
it
Our love is worth it
That's why
