The flames consume all in its way
Making the night as bright as day
But the fire is nothing to fear
Though you feel the heat as it draws near
Watch as it dances in the sky
Finding such freedom there up high
Moving and swaying without a care
Breathing and sighing in the night air
Don’t live your life hiding in ice
These flames of love may not come twice
So in your heart let the fire burn
And in your soul let freedom return
My heart I give without reserve
No longer hiding to preserve
A lonely heart behind a wall
That once was built to stand so tall
Let it tumble and love flow free
And let us love so recklessly
Time will pass and others may fade
But from your side I won’t be swayed
Together we will always rise above
With the wings of unconditional love
Walk with me through darkened streets
Off the path of life’s deceits
We’ll walk in shadows out of sight
With no betrayal by the light
We must keep hidden our heart and soul
From all the hate that would take its toll
It lingers in alleys that we pass
And stares so hard through the window’s glass
Seeking a glimpse of where we might be
Silhouette could betray easily
So be sure to stay where shadows fall
And listen not to it’s tempting call

Once again I disappear
Behind a mask, hide my fear
Let no one see what’s inside
The deepest truth’s, try to hide
Sadness I’ll hold deep within
Show no tears upon my skin
Wear no heart upon my sleeve
Though in my chest it will heave
There’s no weakness I will show
Where to hit they will not know
But can I keep this charade
How long till it starts to fade
She stands with defiance in her eyes
No longer does she believe the lies
Told by those she once held dear
Their true selves are now so clear
Deceit and betrayal are all they know
Their ugliness within starting to show
No longer can they hide behind their lies
She tears away each shred of their disguise
Having exposed them she walks away
Head held high, she’s no longer their prey
Silence brings a peaceful bliss
Dissonance she does not miss
Hiding from the world so cold
Safe within this soundless fold
No pain can find her within this place
No hurt can invade inside this space
She builds her defenses and holds her ground
Safe from disappointment from those around
For now she keeps her heart out of reach
In time love may find a way to breach
These walls that she has built out of stone
And show her things she has never known
