I was a man on fire. I drew you, attracted you with promises of sweet protection from demons haunting the night. Flirting with danger, I wondered why you wanted to cross the line, but those thoughts are fleeting when the world isn’t real. Super slow motion we crafted an illusion. Young and naïve, I tried to warn you, protect you from the peril I didn’t see until it was too late.
Your love lingers, a desperate memory on my heart, you left me broken pieces, fading glimpses. My flame released to the wind. I am a man burnt by yearning.
