As laughter turns sourly into despair
The smoldering tip of cupids arrow that has missed its mark
As a deepening river of silent tears fall in the dark
Passions fire burns deeply in my heart
As I realize that I was cursed from the very start
Fiery embers soar into the sky
As the darkness consumes every tear I cry
My heart burst into a hellish blaze
As my soul becomes entrapped in a smoke filled maze
My torso consumed by a fire burning out of control
As the river of tears fills the darkness of my soul
Steam arises at the meeting point of salted water and flame
As my lips slowly recite over and over the sound of your name
The opposing forces battle fiercely to gain their prize
As the darkened tears drain me til I die
The battle of heated passion over sadness of sorrow
Is to hard a struggle to deal with morrow after morrow
I must extinguish the flames of passion and desire
And dam up this river of sorrow and pain, before the day my soul expires
