A RAGING FIRE

  

   Love! O Love! Hidden in my spirit!

      I’m at my ends wit –

   Always close, but it’s never it . . .

      You just toy with my heart

This facade you play tears me apart!

 

   You appear at night in my dreams

      At my lowest point, it seems –

   Leaving me with this desire . . .

      You are like a raging fire,

And with the devil you must conspire!

 

   In the early morning light

      Long before anyone sees the sun –

   I’m thinking back to the night . . .

      And I look at what love has done

Then I realize from love I can never run!
