You loved me like fire

What do you think?

You loved me like fire

but the flames grew higher and higher

Until you had burned down everything we built

You loved me like fire

But the smoke rose higher and higher

Until I walked away from the ashes of your guilt

Now I'm out of lives

I´ve been burned too many times

and it's become to hard to withstand the pain

I'm gasping for air I can never acquire

I´d apologize, but you think I´m a liar

Saying we burned out cause I loved you like rain

You loved me like fire

but the flames grew higher and higher

Until I could no longer reach you through the flames

You loved me like fire

but the smoke rose higher and higher

Until I walked away from the ashes of your blame

Now I'm out of lives

I´ve been burned too many times

and to save my heart I was forced to let you go

To be loved was my only desire

I'm full of regret, but you think I´m a liar

Saying we burned out cause I loved you like snow

I recognize this. Jealousy, blame, guilt can absolutely destroy a relationship. 'To save my heart I was forced to let you go'. Very authentic. Self-preservation. As if something in our genes warns us that the love is destructive.

Well done. I'd appreciate it if you could look at some of my stories as they go in the same direction.

Wow....burned out love. and maybe some deceit which is never a good thing when in comes to matters of the heart. I like the rhythm and flow.
Always a pleasure to read your stuff !
