There was that millisecond of a moment,
when i caught your eyes staring wonderly at my blank-clueless face,
and in that moment I lived a lifetimes worth of love and pain.
Why have you thrown my heart
Into the bottomless pit of love
Where flames never die and time
Seems to stand still
Almost a remarkable capture
Except for the chains
Shackled to my wrist
Which she leads me by
It seems I’ve loved her all my life
Starring wonderly at the white hoarse
She rides with no attire
Where are you taking me my love I shouted
Then she turned and silently said
Shhhh
To a place where the fire never dies
My Love
