A Lover's Torment

You came like a blazing fire 
Scorching everything I knew 
Through the flames, I admire 
With a love that's new 

Talking with a blissful voice 
Melting my heart with a fierce heat 
Overtaking me without a choice 
Knowing I could never cheat 

My thoughts travel towards you 
Tearing my soul in two 
Waiting for the soothing dew 
The lines of love becoming askew 

Tormented by your touch 
Fighting my one desire 
I've never hurt this much 
Waiting for this to backfire 

Should I leave you behind 
And live with my regret 
To end this soulish bind 
Ending my hearts secret 

Goodbye, my love 
This blaze is gone 
Waiting for this hole to move 
But my love for you will not be undone.
