Consumed

That for which you live 
That for which you give 
That which consumes your thoughts
Let it not consume you

You could travel
Change your road
Sacrifice yourself
Share your abode
Offer your heart
All that you own
Love fully the one who
Will leave you alone

You will hurt
Experience pain
Get cut to the heart
By one single name
Life is short
Life is long
A new spring
Will come along

That for which you live
That for which for breathe
The pain which you feel
Believe it will ease
Have no shame
In giving of your heart
Don't let another's neglect
Tear you apart

That for which you live, live for fully
That for which you give, give fully
What consumes your thoughts
Let it not consume you foolishly
