The Fish

A love so meaningful, Protected by a wall of flames Held captive inside my aching heart My body burning from its heat Almost unbearable Yet unstoppable Relentless And timeless Never ending But now The fiery barrier Between love and lasting Burns no more Ashes Dust Turned to ice Frozen An iceberg In an ocean of torment Frustration And I, I am its fish Thrown to the shore Struggling for breath Drowning in airsuffocating Left to perish praying for the strength to go on But then the fire returns Not a powerful shield Nor protection from the cruel seas This is a weapon A fire filled with destruction A raging storm Unstoppable Unimaginable Relentless A bolt of lightening strikes the fish And all is lost
