The Alchemy of Unrequitted Love
I finally give up
I think I've had enough
You have brought me to the brink of madness
As you recklessly played
With the unpredictable flame
Of my incredibly volatile passions
You're just lucky I've such strength
Keeping this inferno contained
It's much more powerful than you can imagine
The result would be utter destruction
Consuming all within it's reach
Purification it's only function
Carried on the wind independently of me
But I guess in the end you're still the magus
An alchemist in your own right
Blending unfulfilled desire with profound sadness
You managed to turn fire into ice
