Playing With Fire
Will I give myself to thee?
Why dost thou ask?
Thinkest thou my heart is free?
For no love is lost without cost,
And playing with my desire
Is like playing with fire.
For though thy flame attracts and draws me in
I want not the pain of being burnt again.
Nay, thou art like an hungered animal,
Empty of heart and small of soul,
Preying on the weak.
I know thy goal.
I am gone
And thou goest down the path I once was on,
A lonely road without love
And without help from God above.
