A Cry in the Flames
You are the day, beautiful and bright
I am the night, dark and full of fright
You are magnificent, admired with grace
I am a disgrace, a shadowed face
I burn fiercely, weeping bitter tears
Slowly fading, consumed by my fears
But what’s the point of all my pain?
When we’re forever apart, in vain
I’ll keep burning, crying in despair
As the flames of my love fill the air
Until I’m reduced to ashes, gray
By your love, lost in dreams, far away
