Holding you tighter
Letting you go
What to do I do not know
As I’m holding the lighter

This dark place of mine
Light it up
Let your heat run through me
If this is what it means to be in love
Should I steal you away
Or let you have a choice?

Holding my feelings close
Letting you hear
Yet what to say I do not know
As I’m holding your rose

This dark place of mine
Darker still
Without your heat with me
This is what it means to be in love
Wanting to steal away
But you have made your choice

The rose crumbles
As I drop the lighter
Bathed in liquid light
I couldn’t live without you
That’s what you said
But you left me alone

But now you can’t find me
As ashes of gray
Catch the wind, float away.
