Killing Love

How do I kill a fire That doesn't flicker out? How can I ash the embers If the flame still dances bout? Do I smother it with hatred? Do I cover it in smiles? Do I hide it in the tears as deep as River Nile? A song that dances painfully Like knives with every chord, Cutting every heartbeat Severing each tie, each bond, each cord? I won't hold on to you any longer I'll just hide inside my pain, I'll distinguish that dancing flicker And put out that stubborn flame. I'm in a state of mourning But wishing you a life of peace I need to kill that love I have For you that doesn't cease. Just a little longer, Hold back the flood of tears I'm giving back your cord, my tie Battling what if, what may, who cares? The sadness, the pain, the grief, despair Then hours turned days, then weeks and years The pain, the hurt, the grief, the tears Should hopefully be gone and disappeared. That ember that flickered and danced so bright That once lit up the darkest night Will diminish past ember, past ash, past smoke The bond that kept us should've broke Even though our lives have pushed us part Each day is suffocating this heart Regardless the test and what level of hard, I hope that shimmer of summer still kisses your path.
