Burning Love

I seen the end of the world. It was in your eyes. As you said goodbye, you set fire to the sky. I've seen Heaven fall and it landed at my feet. And though I tried not to cry, I couldn't help but weep. I felt the heat as you walked away, and  it burned so deep, I'm still scared today. The wounds heal, scars remain. They say you learn from the past but I do with the same, over again, if time would allow. Just live in the past, someway, somehow. But the past they say, is where it needs to be, so far away, from both you and me. So as I begin a new day, my world is anew, though I'm so far away, from the girl I once knew. So as the future comes to light, my scars fade, as time heals the wounds, that you once made. But I can't let go, I'm still stuck in the past and in the echo of my mind, I can still hear you laugh. If I close my eyes, I can still hear you say, "I love you baby", and a new scar is made. Across my heart, oh what a disgrace. How can the devil  have an angels face? It burns so much, I wish I could run.  Maybe go to leave my days, walking on the Sun. Far enough away, that my wounds finally heal. Because you're still close enough today, you make my skin peel. As I suffer from the burns that you continue to make. I'm  dying from the pain, of my own heart break. So I stand in the flames, as they rain from above. Trapped in the fires, of a burning love.
