Feeding On The Fire
What feeds the fire that fans the flame
Inside this heart of mine
Ignites my soul and makes it breathe
Until surrender is divine
The thirst the need intense desire
To feel the fire burn
Fuels the flame that burns inside
For that of which I yearn
To live to learn to not be burned
Of which I know not how
Feeding on the flickering fire of love
The heart should not allow
To freeze the pain the heart does feel
A task that must be learned
To save a heart that feeds the fire
From the fiery burn
