HANDS IN FLAME

***

Like a picture saved in frame,

I will save my thoughts of you.

You are part of who I am.

And for me, your arms were home.

When I reached to hold your hand

It was weird to feel you warm.

And the place was falling down,

But you stood there proud and tall,

With our joined hands in flame,

I could feel your shining soul.

Through my tears I breathed your name,

Am I really losing you?!!

I was feeling all your pain;

There was nothing I could do.

Then I knew the moment came,

It was time for you to know,

That my life won't be the same,

Cause I fell in love with you.

I had just myself to blame;

You did not believe it's true.

I just wished this was a flame

Till you said I had to go, So,

with all my strength I ran,

Just because you told me so.

I may have survived this game,

But my heart has burned with you.
