Flames
As the tears stream down my face,
I blame only you for my pain.
My mind and my heart can only now race,
About my loss but your gain
In my never ending chase
For love, for hope, for fun
For purpose in these ever long days
I see my dream and I think of you.
I rip it to pieces but save the lace
I start a fire as you did in my soul
The embers fly away with every last tear
The walls burn down around me fast but slow
My heart beats quickly as you scream to me, ‘no’.
You broke me then, you shall never again
I fall to the floor and turn to thin dust
You run now away from my grave
Where I will forever remember your name
I blame only you for my pain.
My mind and my heart can only now race,
About my loss but your gain
In my never ending chase
For love, for hope, for fun
For purpose in these ever long days
I see my dream and I think of you.
I rip it to pieces but save the lace
I start a fire as you did in my soul
The embers fly away with every last tear
The walls burn down around me fast but slow
My heart beats quickly as you scream to me, ‘no’.
You broke me then, you shall never again
I fall to the floor and turn to thin dust
You run now away from my grave
Where I will forever remember your name

This so reminds me of a song by Sade, "Somebody Already Broke My Heart". Love the lines, "I rip it to pieces but save the lace. I start a fire as you did in my soul".
