Consumed by the fire inside
Burnt out and defeated
Nowhere to go, no place to hide
His will to live depleted
Because loving is a fever
That incinerates your heart
An emotional sharpened cleaver
That can tear your heart apart
Feeling trapped and in despair
Living a shadow of a life
A relationship in despair
Balanced on the edge of a knife
He took the knife and kissed the blade
Ran it across his wrists
Closed his eyes as the room swayed
Wondered if he’d be missed
What would happen when he’d gone
He hoped she would forgive
It turns out he was not that strong
Not strong enough to live
His last thought was of her smile
as they once danced in the rain
He died dreaming that in a while
They could meet and dance again
