Going Down In Flames

My dynamite eyes shine so bright 
with their highly explosive light 
that will explode into the night
Your words struck the match igniting the flame
My wild heart will never be tamed
We both are equal in part to blame
And for my actions, I am forshamed.
My evil eyes do glow a dark red
Capable of obliterating all but a shred
Destroying all hopes of a wedding bed
But when Dynamite meets Flame
In the smoky destruction lays the remains
The outcome of their dance is dire
You are the Match that struck the Fire
Oh fickle fire, Stay with me for a while
I promise I will make it worthwhile
Love me through the pain
It is so hard to explain
When your emotionally drained
Packed with secrets, I sound insane
I promise, I wont let us go down in flame
