Why Love

Going mad through the night
I long for the place where you hide

You walk among the stars
I look at flaming grace of burning soul
Drowning in your fire eyes
Seek me at the edge of broken cold

The world is torn
Dreams are forlorn
Without you I’m lost
Don’t look away, revive my everlost hope

What have you done to me, my midnight dream?
Come from the shadows, I’m here, waiting still

I long for you
For your eyes of fire and wings of flame
Why oceans are dry and shores are frozen
Why hope burns me to cinders
Why heart beats like tomorrow is broken
Why love turns real into lost dreams
Tell me why I love you?

A soul written between the lines
Heart burns with dearest rhymes
You are but a soul I long for

What have you done to me?
You are but a dream
A ghost of times
Soul of flame
Remaining in shade
You are but all I can think of
Why am I in love?

I long for your flaming heart
Don’t leave me all broken apart
Kneeling before you I beg
Let me be yours forever until the very last tomorrow’s end
