Love Burns

fury burns within my heart...
my still beating heart burning
from the inside out
screaming to finally be free from this pain
eyes dry 
head aches
stomach churns to thought of no longer
there being a you and me
the flame now a distant memory 
along with the love we once held..
i once let you escape from my grip
but claimed you back...now
you let me slip away this time..
promise in the pouring rain that 
we wouldnt let each other go..
now shattered and lost in the gutter
crushed, washed away...gone..
love burning down 
heart crashing down...
chances disappeared...
