Smothering the Flame

Raging flames to wilted ash

That inferno could never last

Molten lava to stone cold rock

The fire in your eyes is now just dark

Our fire once burned with fury, rage and lust

Our burning passion is now dry as dust

You became too engulfed in the flame between us

But just like fire needs oxygen, we needed trust

You can’t control a fire

and it’s too hard to tame

So you suffocated me

just like the flame

In your attempts to keep this blaze alive

You just put it out with all your lies

That glorious flame that sparked our fire

The emotion, the passion and the sizzling desire

You tried to protect it, but you tried too hard

Now we’re both burnt out, scorched and charred

You did all you could to save the fire we shared

But you were smothering the flame, it had no air

You cant control a fire

and it's to hard to tame

So you suffocated me

just like the flame

The fire weakened

with every tear that I cried

Slowly extinguishing the flame,

until the fire died

well... we tried
